The Recreational Program is a soccer program for all youth players. United Futbol Academy supports US Youth Soccer’s teaching philosophy with respect to small-sided soccer in U5, U6, U7, U8, U10 and U12. This philosophy allows the game to be the teacher by maximizing each player’s touches on the ball and encourages all the players to develop their skills in all positions. Further, the philosophy discourages intense competition until the older age groups.
Our Recreational Program currently consists of players from the age of 3 through the age of 18. Please take note that there is no skill level requirement at any age, I.E. we will have children of all levels participating on each team in our program. We have developed a system that provides both a fun and productive environment for players at all levels. Although our focus is predominantly on the enjoyment of playing the game, we would also like to utilize our time effectively with the children by teaching them as much as possible about the game and the skills needed to excel in the sport.
Please note the following information regarding the Recreational Program Age Groups:
U4 Coed Mini League
*Please note, to participate in the U4 Mini League Program, your child must be 3 years of age by July 31, 2017.
The Mini League is a FUN introductory program designed for three year old boys and girls. This is a success-based program designed to develop a player’s confidence and a life-long love of the game of soccer. The Mini League program is run as a parent/child clinic format. We will have a Professional Trainer assisted by the parent/s of each player. We will work on soccer skills each week through a variety of games and activities. There are no set teams.
The 6-week long season. The participate fee per season is $85 which includes a t-shirt per seasonal year (both fall and spring seasons = one seasonal year). I.E. - If you participated in the fall Mini League, you will not receive a new ball and t-shirt.
U5 - U19 Recreational League
Each U5-U19 team requires a volunteer parent coach, however we provide a professional trainer who works with each age group once a week. Although our focus is predominantly on the enjoyment of playing the game, we would also like to utilize our time effectively with the children by teaching them as much as possible about the game and the skills needed to excel in the sport.
