Level 1: Academy Training & Academy PLUS
Program Overview
The primary focus at our "Level One” Academy Program is to develop each child’s basic motor skills utilizing a one player-one ball environment designed to be; fun, engaging, and rewarding.
Our professionally licensed coaching staff will incorporate a variety of mid week technical training sessions and bi-weekly game day experiences designed to help each child develop their soccer and social skills in a relatable environment centered around PLAY.
This program is an ideal introduction to soccer for complete beginners, or players who are actively participating in recreational (Park District & AYSO) programs and who would like more professional soccer instruction.
We now offer programs in THREE locations: ANTIOCH, GURNEE & GRAYSLAKE
Below you will find information on our seasonal programming. Please note: For the game day experiences, we combine all players from each location to allow us to connect all players and families across our program. Players are initially assigned fields based on age and skill levels, but can also be moved across fields as the season progresses to find the best challenge for their continued development.
Primary training & game day programs run year round and we will also be offering TWO x Four day summer camps.
Should you wish to find more information on our soccer club with programming for players aged 5 to 18, please review our various web pages.
