Who is it for?
Designed for players ages U5, U6 & U7 interested in a higher level of soccer participation. AFC Union's Pre-Academy program curriculum provides for the player/families looking to get more out of soccer.
Each team in the Pre-Academy program has a coach who has been selected and screened by the AFC Union Pre-Academy Director. The coaches are required to hold a coaching license as well as encouraged to attend additional coaching clinics and advance in the level of the coaching license they hold.
Pre-Academy training is run in an academy setting (multiple teams training together) following a professional training curriculum developed by our Pre-Academy Director in conjunction with our Academy Director and AFC Director of Coaching . The academy approach to training is used by the best clubs worldwide because of its effectiveness in developing players.
Where does it take place?
All training sessions and games take place at the SCORe Soccer Complex of Racine, located in Franksville, WI.
