Program Information

The CSC U10 Academy Program is designed for players who are transitioning from Recreation Soccer and the U8-U9 Pre-Academy into a more challenging training environment

Program Goals & Mission

Player Development is the number one priority of the Academy. The long-term goal is to develop players who are capable of competing at the travel soccer level and beyond. The Academy environment is exciting and challenging, and will constantly test our players. As players mature, it is important to place them appropriately to ensure they are encouraged and pushed to achieve their own personal bests. The Academy Program continues to promote fun and fundamentals, while also demanding a strong work ethic, commitment, and passion for the game.
