Youth Academy

 

             The youth academy is designed to develop young aspiring soccer players in the areas of technique (skills), tactics (decision making), physical fitness, and sports psychology.  The youth academy will be run by former professional player Bryan Monka with the intent of teaching skill, creativity, and decision making in a fun, competitive environment where winning is encouraged but is not the sole focus.  The students will train on Fridays and play games at the end of the session.
