Courage U7/U8 Academy
A 9 month training program for Boys & Girls U7-U8.
About U7/U8 Academy
The U7/U8 Academy is a 9 month program that provides our youngest players an environment that promotes problem solving, authentic learning, and skill development.The Courage Academy is the transitional program between the Recreational Program and our Select Program (Travel Soccer). The Academy builds players who then take the next step into our Select Program.
U7/U8 Academy sessions will offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum that will create a fun, challenging, and competitive environment. Players will train in small groups, with new teammates and coaches each week, to help their development on and off the soccer field. All training sessions and games will be coached by the new Courage Academy staff. The U7/U8 Academy is intended for those players (and parents) who are willing to make a stronger commitment to prioritizing development in all aspects of youth soccer.
