The purpose of the program is to introduce young players to the game of soccer and provide less-experienced players with a program to develop their soccer skill sets in order to be ready for competitive soccer with HV United. The program creates a fun, challenging, and positive environment to work with players on an individual level and help them improve the technical and tactical foundation they need to compete at a higher level. It’s a great warm-up for competitive team tryouts end of May!

The program is currently run by Ray McCarthy. a US Soccer D License professional coach. He will direct the curriculum and supervise any additional paid coaching staff, such as older youth players from the HV United competitive teams program. This interaction creates great club unity, provides fun and entertaining mentors for the Academy participants, and improves coaching experience for our older players.

It is open to all players aged 4 to 12 (birth years 2020-2013). Groups will generally be divided by birth year, so players will work amongst their peers at the same age and skill level.

The summer session is scheduled for Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-9am from July th to August 11th (11 sessions). Location is tentatively scheduled for Cobblestone Field.

Fees are paid for teh whole summer session at a cost of $240 each. Registration for each session is conducted online starting at least a month before the session begins. When open, registration will be available here. Time commitment will be twice a week for one hour.

A higher level of soccer awareness, technical skill improvement, increased fitness, dynamic team experience, soccer fun.
