Pre-Travel Academy

(U7-U8)

The Pre-Travel Academy is a program to prepare young players interested in Travel Soccer from

the very beginning and/or to develop and improve their skills in order to play at a higher

competitive level. Our Pre-Travel Program Curriculum will teach the players the important

fundamental skills required of all individuals with the desire to play at the more competitive

and elite levels in the near and distant future. The focus of learning is on the development of

the individual’s ball comfort, control, and dribbling skills where players are highly encouraged

to dribble as much as possible to provide them with the most opportunities for practice and

implementation of the techniques taught, even during undesirable situations occurring in small-

sided games of 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4. The outcome will be the development of players who possess

the self-confidence in their own ball handling skills to get themselves out of trouble when help

is unavailable and be the catalyst for possession and attack oriented play. Parents may be

asked to join in some of the activities.

U5-U6 Clinics

Our U5-U6 clinics are a great way to get your little ones introduced to soccer or supplement

their recreational team practices. Held once a week for 1 hour, your little player will learn the

basic techniques of individual skill, as described in our U5/U6 Club Curriculum through the use

of games and activities that your children will enjoy. Every practice will begin with playground

type activities to get their bodies moving and strengthening key muscle groups important to

any kind of physical activity or sport. Most soccer activities will involve one ball per player to

maximize your child’s time with the ball at their feet and increase their comfort and control.

Parents are encouraged to join in on the fun!
