MISSION STATEMENT


Our mission is for everyone to love soccer as much as we do. We aim to develop young players through watching demonstrations, practicing skills and techniques and playing games within a fun atmosphere. Without putting too much emphasis on winning or losing

 

 


ALL STAR FC

 

Become a better soccer player by following the All Star development plan

 

3-5 year olds

Superstars


Our pre-k classes are the best way to learn basic skills whilst having great fun. We will teach our Superstars dribbling moves such as drag backs and fake-takes as well as practicing skill building exercises including toe taps and foundation. Using both storybook learning and copy coach demonstrations the Superstars always leave with a smile on their face and some new skills to show their parents and their friends.


Superstars will leave with the necessary skills needed to join the youth Academy and with a love for the game of soccer

    

Kinder-2nd grade

Youth Academy


When players graduate to our Youth Academy program they are taught more complex skills, how to beat and defend players 1v1 and the dynamics of playing in a game. We use a challenging curriculum to give everyone a chance to improve and test themselves against others. Using player demonstrations and repetitive fun drills we will improve the players dribbling, passing, shooting and ability to make quick & good decisions on the field.


 

Our Youth Academy players will move on to the Academy with a better understanding of the game and more confidence as a player 

 

3rd & 4th grade

Academy


The Academy is the next step in the All Star FC progression. Players that have been with us through the Superstars and Youth Academy programs will have learned many skills already and will now have a more competitive arena in which to use them. We will teach more technical skills, use more complex drills and will give the players more tactical information so that they understand when and why to use the techniques they have worked on.

 

 

Academy players will leave with a good tactical understanding of soccer and having had the best technical training available
