Jr Academy | MLS Go League U4, U6, U8, U10

The vision for the Jr Academy program will be to have the following age groups where they would be gender specific

(except in the U4 & U6 age group), have separate training sessions and matches alike:

AGE GROUPS

3v3

U4 | 2021-2022

4v4

U6 | 2019-2020

U8 | 2017-2018

5v5

U10 | 2015-2016

Teams can be created with a mix of genders if necessary, but the vision of the program is to have boys teams & girl teams formed. If there is a mixed team then that team would be placed in the (co-ed) bracket of that age group.

During the Spring season, respective JR Academy Team coaches will have one training sessions per week on Saturdays followed by a game on the same day.
