Is your child always looking to do more soccer? Are they ready to be challenged on the pitch, to take it up a notch?
We have the solution.
AFC Union Soccer Club offers a Pre-Academy program for U6 & U7 players. The Pre-Academy program provides the player who wants more, the opportunity to get more.
Each team in the Pre-Academy program has a coach that 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. In addition to the team coach, AFC Union licensed professional trainers to work with and alongside the team coach.
The Pre-Academy training is run in an academy setting (multiple teams training together) following a professional training curriculum that has been created for our Pre-Academy program. The academy approach to training is used by the best clubs worldwide because of its effectiveness in developing players.
Players in the Pre-Academy have two 1 hour-long training sessions a week.
Racine Area training sessions will be determined each season and are held in the evenings at SCORe Soccer Complex. Please contact the director of Pre-Academy for further information.
Your registration also includes 3 tournaments for your Pre-Academy player to participate in.
There will be optional winter opportunities to involve your child in as well, ranging from training, leagues, and tournaments, and that'll be provided in the interest of the players and collective group. NOTE - Each child's registration already includes 10 weeks of additional winter training without any additional payment.
If your player loves soccer and is craving more, we highly suggest the AFC Union Pre-Academy program. The level of training and the additional opportunities that are provided will help them develop into the best player they can be. And if your player is interested in moving into club soccer when they are older, the Pre-Academy program is a great stepping stone into the club soccer/select soccer world, providing them with a good foundation and an advantage for when they do.
AFC Union's U6/U7 Pre-Academy Program is an Open Registration Program. There are no tryouts! Any player that has the desire and the love of the game and wants to participate in the AFC Union Pre-Academy program is welcome to join!
