Northstars Soccer Club presents its 15th season of its Academy Skills Program! The Academy is an instructional program for children ages 5-14 years. Players are grouped by age & ability. The focus at this age is to make players more comfortable with the ball at their feet and introduce the game in a relaxed environment.  Your child will learn the basic fundamentals of soccer in a fun yet structured environment.  The academy program philosophy is to emphasize player development and focus on technical skill development of each child.  Practice is broken into stations incorporating dribbling, passing, trapping, shooting, ball skills, agility footwork, attacking & defending concepts into fun games.  

Note: We incorporate a scrimmage station into all practices to give kids real game play opportunities. (See attached curriculum guide showing the typical practice structure)
