Our U6-U8 Player Development Academy is a program focused completely on individual development over team success. All players are challenged in a fun environment that stresses skills development and creative problem-solving. Important habits and skills are developed at an early age. The PDA program works to build good fundamental ball control skills and teach players how to read the game at this critical stage of their development. This program is the first stage offered to all of our youngest-aged players before they move on to our Competitive programs. This program is run three times a year: Fall (September-November), Winter (December – February), and Spring (March-May)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U6-U8 PDA program is designed for our younger players who show a higher level of talent and enthusiasm. They will be trained by one of our staff coaches one day each week. Will be led by a team coach for all sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
