What is the difference between the Recreation program and the Youth Academy?
The Recreation program is a league open to 4-14 year old players where everyone is placed on teams and play a number of games during the course of a season. The Youth Academy is a development program that is led by our Select Coaching staff that helps our young players develop skills through a series of fun, age-appropriate activities and drills. Youth Academy players will not play formal soccer games but will have the opportunity to play small sided scrimmages from time to time against other Youth Academy participants.
