JUNIORS

Cap City Juniors is designed for six- and seven-year old's.  Juniors helps to continue to bridge the gap from Cap City Kickers to our full Cap City teams starting at U9.  Having seen that players come to Cap City at under 10 and under 11 not having developed the requisite skills that a player their age should have, the Cap City Juniors curriculum, building on the foundation created in Kickers, continues to teach young players good practice habits, reinforces their technical skills and confidence, and builds on their enjoyment of the game.

This is a completely in-house program. While other clubs/teams may tout the league that their U7 and U8 teams are playing in and traveling an hour each way for a 45 minute game, we keep everything in-house. Not only does this keep things more fun for the kids (who wants to spend two hours in the car just to play?!), but it allows us better control of the developmental environment. This is a common sense approach to youth soccer!

Often times we hear that families are reluctant to join a “premier” club for various reasons. The Cap City Juniors program clears that hurdle while creating a more productive developmental environment that players will find more challenging yet also more enjoyable.

What sets this program apart from other local programs for the same age?

• Training twice per week using a coherent, structured curriculum tied to the Cap City curriculum our older players are trained with.
• No Travel! All games will be held at the same time each Saturday morning during the Fall and Spring seasons.
• Optional winter league play (for an additional fee)
• Larger training pools that will allow each player to be challenged
• A unique 5v5 (4+GK) game format that will put the focus on development rather than winning and losing
• Experienced, licensed coaches
• An 8:1 to 10:1 player to coach ratio
• 48 training sessions and 16 game days are included. Equates to less than $8 per practice/game!

Your soccer program should do more than just teach soccer. At Cap City our focus is on training our players to do things the right way, work hard, and be respectful. We know that by emphasizing these qualities the results will be long term success both on and off of the soccer field.
