Spring 2026 Pre-Competitive Academy Program
What is the Pre-Competitive Academy?
The Pre-Competitive Academy bridges the gap between recreational and competitive soccer. This program is designed to prepare players for the demands of the competitive environment while giving families a realistic preview of what competitive soccer entails — without the commitment of a full-year program.
It’s the perfect next step for players ready to advance their skills and for parents who want to explore the competitive pathway.
Program Dates
Spring 2026 Season: Begins March 23, 2026
Duration: 9 weeks
