Georgia FC is excited to announce the return of our brand new developmental program…

Overview:

The Jr. Academy Program, now in it’s second season is a program designed for existing and up coming U8 recreational players who want more out of soccer, are good listeners, have good soccer ability and who want additional quality training. The Jr. Academy will not replace the recreational program for that U8 player, but will provide an opportunity for additional training from licensed coaches. The purpose of this program is to provide a solid foundation for players who truly love the game to build upon. The Jr. Academy prepares players for the Academy program at GFC, which becomes available to them at 8 years of age.

Objectives:

• To provide a night of high level training for our serious U8 players.
• To improve the technical abilities of our serious U8 players.
• Focus will be on individual development of our players
• To prepare players for Georgia FC’s Academy Program
• To familiarize players with the training methods of the Academy Program
