Overview
The Pre-Academy program available for both girls and boys is simply an additional day of practice with HFC's professional coaching staff for players already participating in the 7U-10U ABYSA or Henderson County (HCSA) Recreation Programs. It provides a platform to introduce players to a training experience consistent with ABYSA's / HCSA's next level of play (HFC Academy and HFC Classic). Players will go to their recreation team practice one day of the week and then come to a Pre-Academy session for a second practice. The program is offered during the Fall and Spring. Registration is open to all players born in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Players born in 2010 and 2011 are also old enough for our Academy Program so please contact [email protected] for more information.
The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) has identified the importance of early exposure to proper soccer skill techniques as vital to the growth and potential success of young players. We also feel that possessing the proper technical skills will not only prepare the players for the next level but, will, more importantly, increase their enjoyment of the game. That's why we designed the Pre-Academy program as a technical skill building program for players born in 2010-2013. This is our 14th year offering the program and the feedback from families has always been extremely positive. Each member of the Pre-Academy Program staff has played professional or collegiate soccer and is qualified to teach developmentally appropriate soccer material to ABYSA and HCSA youth soccer players.
