Red Star Soccer Academy is proud to announce its Pre-Competitive Academy for boys and girls ages 5-10.

The goal of the Red Star Pre-Comp Academy is to identify very young soccer players who will enjoy a more dynamic play environment, and to provide a technical pathway for future transition into competitive soccer. By offering recreational-league players a chance to train in a new and challenging environment, Red Star will create a larger pool of enthusiastic, technically proficient players. Development Academy sessions will be planned and run by licensed Red Star coaches and will emphasize enjoyment of the game, as well as sound fundamental soccer skills and technique.

The Academy curriculum is designed for players aged five through ten and emphasizes an introduction to ʻthe beautiful game,ʼ and proper execution of basic techniques such as dribbling, passing, receiving and shooting in a fun yet challenging environment.

For the winter season, the program runs from February through March, a total of 10 one-hour sessions. Cost for the program is $160 per player and includes adidas training t-shirt and entry into two in-house play-date soccer festivals. Drop-in sessions are available, please contact our Technical Director.
