2026 U5 & U7 Soccer Program Format
For the 2026 season, we are making adjustments to our U5 and U7 program structure to create a more consistent, engaging, and development-focused experience for our young players.
Players will be divided into Orange and Black groups for academy training sessions. They will be in the same training group for the entire season.
Following each training session, teams of 5–6 players from each group will come together for a small-sided scrimmage against the other group.
This format should give players the opportunity to build familiarity and friendships with a consistent group of teammates each week, while also providing valuable experience competing with and against different players.
We are also adjusting our training format by moving from four rotating stations to two focused training areas. The goal is to cause less confusion and a better flow. We will continue to focus on a specific development theme each week, allowing coaches to spend more time reinforcing key skills and creating a more meaningful learning environment for every player.
U7 - Will participate in one weekday evening session (day to be determined) along with a shorter Saturday morning session including a game.
U5 - Will continue with a Saturday-only schedule featuring training and a game.
Our goal with these changes is to improve upon the transition started last season, and provide a positive, structured, and fun environment where players can grow their skills, build confidence, and develop a love for the game while creating lasting connections with their teammates.
