ABOUT THE 2023 - 2024 JR. ACADEMY PROGRAM:
What is Junior Academy?
Junior Academy is Florida Elite’s program that is designed to be the perfect bridgeway to our competitive program. The program is available for all players born between 2016 and 2018 (U6-U8) who want to take their game to the next level. This program runs from August through May. The Jr. Academy fees are for the entire 10 month season.
Our Focus
The Jr. Academy Program’s focus is to prepare players for our competitive program. Our program offers a high level of training by licensed, experienced coaches with a focus on player development. Our emphasis is on individual confidence with the ball, technical development, and placing the kids in a competitive environment to expose them to all the components of the game. We introduce these concepts through a set curriculum.
Bridge way to competitive soccer
Junior Academy is a great introduction to the aspects of playing in our competitive program. With our experienced competitive coaching staff, players will be able to see what it would be like to join the competitive program while still having fun and learning all about the wonderful game. We hope to create the love for the game while also giving them all the tools they need to be successful in our competitive program.
What can you expect from us?
The Jr. Academy program is run by our professional coaching staff. The coaches are here to keep your child's soccer experience fun, enjoyable, and help foster a desire to play. Our coaches will provide your players with training two times per week and games on Friday evenings. All games are played in a 5v5 format and every player will have a set team and coach for his/her games on the weekend.
The 2023-24 Jr Academy Bridge Teams:
The bridge team/teams are an extension of the Jr Academy program. Players selected for the teams will continue to pay Jr Academy fees. However, while not yet part of the competitive program, bridge teams will train like a competitive team. The teams will have 2 team training sessions a week, play league games, and participate in multiple tournaments throughout the year. They will be competing a year up and playing 7v7. If your player is selected to be a part of the bridge team, tournament fees (in addition to Jr Academy fees) will be required.
2023-24 Bridge Team TRYOUTS are now happening! All eligible Bridge Team players must be registered in our Jr Academy Program!
For the upcoming season 2023/2024 Bridge Teams are for players born in 2016 only.
