Developmental Approach
The RRSC Youth Soccer Academy has been created to introduce developmentally appropriate soccer to children at the younger ages. The United States Soccer Federation and US Youth Soccer view the early soccer years of a player as the key to the foundation for the children to enjoy and grow positively in their development as both a child and soccer player. 

Training sessions are designed to challenge the players, in a SAFE, COMFORTABLE, and FUN environment. Once again, we want the child to LOVE the game of SOCCER and DEVELOP a PASSION for the game and physical activity.

The coaching curriculum is designed to develop younger players’ coordination, flexibility, and mental awareness. The curriculum and overarching objectives are based on United States Soccer’s National Youth License course. The players will play in a variety of activities that will challenge their physical, mental, and technical abilities. The program educates the children on the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle, while allowing children to socialize and interact with players of various gender and age. 
We will measure success along the lines of:

  • FUN ... do the players smile and laugh? Do the players look forward to playing? The first question from the player's family should be, "Did you have fun today?"
  • Player Retention: How many players want to participate in soccer next year?  

Youth Academy Coaching Staff
The RRSC Soccer Academy will be conducted by trained coaches. Our staff coaches have excellent playing and coaching experiences.  RRSC Staff Coaches receive regular training throughout the year so as to update them with the newest coaching techniques that would best assist our coaches in educating our youth players. Please see our Staff Coaches’ Bios here.

 

The Fall and Spring Season: 
The program runs for the duration of 18 weeks, 9 weeks in the fall and 9 weeks in the spring. Practices are on Monday evenings and games will be played on Friday evenings.   The players will arrive at the fields in their RRSC Uniforms and our Staff coaches will randomly place kids on a 3v3 team.
