WHAT'S NEXT?

Junior Academy

Born in 2020, 2019, 2018 (U6-U8) The Junior Academy is a training program that can be an addition to the Recreation program. It aims to elevate player skills and foster development through a distinct approach focusing entirely on enhancing technical abilities and skill implementation aligned with The Independence Way.

 

This program not only provides a platform for individual skill development but also strengthens teamwork. Players will grow together, learning valuable skills that can be applied back in a team environment.


Sessions will be tailored by our professionally certified and licensed coaching staff and led by high-level instructors, with a sole emphasis on fundamental technical skills. This training program is a fantastic opportunity for our coaches to enhance player skills and guide them along our development pathway.

Program Highlights:

  • Focus on technical skills and individual development.
  • Builds teamwork and prepares players to contribute effectively in team environments.
  • Sessions led by certified, licensed coaches and high-level instructors.
  • Designed as a development pathway to enhance performance and confidence.


Join us for an engaging and focused training experience where commitment to technical excellence meets the spirit of teamwork!

Registration information coming soon.


YOUTH ACADEMY

Born in 2016, 2017 or 2018 (U8-U10) The Youth Academy is the beginning of the Player Pathway into our Local, Regional and National Competitive Programs. The program places emphasis on 3 areas of Individual Player Development: Soccer Development, Athletic Development, Personal Development. The program focuses on developing the individual player’s technical abilities, providing opportunities to play various positions in matches and the freedom to make their own decisions and learn from their own experiences. The CISC YA (Youth Academy) Program focuses on the overall well-being of the person that will enhance their lives for years to come!

Volunteer


As a volunteer coach, you play a key role in developing a community of soccer enthusiasts! If you have ever played soccer, even if you haven't laced up cleats in more years than you'd admit, you are a soccer player. Similarly, if you have sat in the stands of a soccer game, been coached by your own parent or neighbor, you know what it is to be a soccer player. If you have played any other sport, or been a fan, you know that physical or technical skills are only one trait, among many other valuable development opportunities provided by sport.   


While heavy oversight and continued education are provided by the club, we do rely on participation from our community to support the ever-growing Recreational Leagues. If you are interested in joining the club, supporting your neighborhood, creating a family on the sideline, please reach out to us by completing the quick interest survey.
