ACADEMY soccer program
For boys and girls born 2016–2019. Curriculum-based development that prepares players for the transition into competitive Select soccer.
ACADEMY PROGRAM
SOCCER FOR 8-10 YEARS OLD
The Galaxy Academy League bridges the gap between our recreational pathway and competitive Select soccer. It gives players a curriculum-based training environment focused on technical skill, tactical understanding, and a genuine love of the game.
Academy training follows the Galaxy Soccer Curriculum — the same player-development framework used across every level of our club — so players build the fundamentals they'll need as they progress toward Select.
