NSSA has a deep history of helping youngsters build a strong technical foundation and instilling a love for the sport of soccer. Always cognizant that the years spent in the Jr. Academy are very formative, NSSA strives to create an inspiring, challenging, yet age-appropriate environment. Under the watchful eyes of our development staff, your player will rapidly advance his/her soccer skills while developing friendships.
Our new program follows the competitive calendar and is geared towards the soccer player performing at a high level for their birth year who is looking for a more committed experience. The program is planning to accept up to 16 players per birth year to create an Academy/pooled program. This pool of players will train together twice weekly, competing in the NSSA U8 Futures Academy each season (Fall, Winter, Spring/Summer) as well as the TCSL Fives Festivals.
Coaching Plan: 1-2 Professional Coaches pending team size (1:10 ratio coach to player)
If interested in joining this program, please contact
Deven Cairns for an evaluation.
