Frequently Asked Questions

Still not sure if it’s right for your kid? Here are answers to the most common questions we get from new families.

What should my child bring to the free session?

Comfortable athletic clothes, soccer cleats or sneakers, and a water bottle. If your child already has shin guards, bring those as well—but they’re not required for the trial. We provide all soccer balls and training equipment.

What ages do you train?

We currently offer programs for kids ages 5–14, grouped into age brackets (5–7, 8–10, 11–14). This keeps activities fun, safe, and appropriate for each stage of development.

Can parents stay and watch?

Absolutely. We encourage parents and guardians to stay, watch from the sidelines, and get to know our coaches. You’ll see exactly how we run practices and interact with players.

Is there any obligation to sign up after the free session?

No. The free session is simply a chance for your family to experience our academy. If it’s a great fit, we’ll share membership options—but there’s zero pressure to commit.

What if my child has never played soccer before?

Beginners are welcome. We design drills and games that work for all experience levels, and we place your child in a group where they can feel successful right away.
