CFC Academy Program
CFC’s Academy Program is designed for U9, U10, U11, and U12 players as a bridge between CFC’s developmental program (recreational) and Select (competitive) program. It is ideal for the young player who is taking particular interest in the sport of soccer and appears to be ready for a higher level of training as well as increased expectations. Yet, the Academy Program remains primarily focused on individual player development; emphasis on team results (winning) remains secondary. Players of this age are not yet emotionally and socially ready for the pressure of inappropriate competition.

Juggling Club
 

Not every great juggler is a great soccer player, but every great soccer player is a great juggler!

Insight for parents: More often than not, just as your player’s willingness to play soccer in the back yard is an indication of the determination to become a successful soccer player, their juggling ability correlates to the skill with which they will play the game of soccer.
