Arlington Aces U7-U10 Academy Program

At Arlington Aces Soccer Club, our U7-U10 Academy Program (birth years 2018-2016) is designed to provide young players with a fun, structured, and inspiring environment to grow their love for soccer. Using an Academy model, we focus on developing individual skills, creativity, and confidence while fostering a lifelong passion for the game.

Program Overview

Our Academy program is tailored for players who demonstrate a strong interest in soccer and a desire to improve their skills in a supportive, high-energy setting. Through a combination of skill-based training and small-sided games, we create an environment where players can thrive both on and off the field.

Key Features of the Academy Program

• Skill Development:
• We emphasize ball control, dribbling, passing, and shooting to build a strong technical foundation. Our training sessions are designed to help players feel confident and creative with the ball at their feet.
• Small-Sided Games:
• By playing in smaller teams, players get more touches on the ball, more opportunities to make decisions, and more chances to develop their game intelligence. These games are fast-paced, fun, and highly engaging.
• Fluid Rosters:
• Unlike traditional team models, our Academy rosters are more flexible. Players may work with different teammates throughout the season, which helps them adapt to new challenges and build stronger teamwork skills.
• Positive, Fun Environment:
• We believe that soccer should be enjoyable! Our coaches create a supportive atmosphere where players feel encouraged to take risks, learn from mistakes, and celebrate their progress.

Program Structure

• Training Sessions:
• High-quality, age-appropriate training led by our professionally licensed coaches. Sessions focus on individual skill development and small-group tactics.
• Weekly Street Soccer Sessions:
• Weekly sessions are split by age group and focus on individual skill development. These sessions are designed to complement team practices and give players extra opportunities to refine their abilities.
• Games and Play:
• Regular small-sided games allow players to apply what they’ve learned in training in a fun, competitive setting.
• Seasonal Flexibility:
• Some roster adjustments may occur between the fall and spring seasons, as well as for tournaments, to ensure every player is placed in the best environment for their growth.

Our Philosophy

At Arlington Aces, we believe that the early years of soccer should be about development, enjoyment, and building a love for the game. We prioritize skill-building and creativity over winning, ensuring that every player leaves the field feeling confident and excited to keep playing.

Whether your child is just starting their soccer journey or already has a passion for the game, the Arlington Aces U7-U10 Academy Program is the perfect place for them to grow, learn, and thrive.
