Overview
Fun-Focused Soccer for Young Players
The Eagle Elite Program is a specialized training-and-play initiative designed to nurture the skills of our youngest athletes (born in 2018 and 2019). Through this program, we carefully develop each player’s abilities and prepare them for future success in our travel team programs, beginning in Spring 2025 and beyond.
Our experienced coaching team is dedicated to enhancing players’ technical skills, building their confidence, and sparking a lifelong passion for soccer in a fun, supportive environment. As part of Eagle Elite, players are given the unique opportunity to secure early travel team spots for Spring 2025, with priority acceptance offered to those who complete the program.

Building a Strong Foundation for Young Players
Format: 4 v 4
At this age, children are naturally drawn to play, so our practices revolve around engaging and enjoyable games. These sessions maximize each player’s time with the ball, encouraging hands-on experimentation and helping them discover skills at their own pace.
For many, this is their first experience in a team setting, so we emphasize building positive relationships with teammates. Through fun exercises, players are also given small responsibilities, nurturing an early sense of teamwork and shared purpose.
Training combines fundamental motor skills—like walking, running, and jumping—with foundational ball-handling and control techniques. The 4v4 format allows players to fully engage in the game within a supportive, non-competitive in-house environment.
Experimental Play
Players spend the maximum time possible in contact with the ball and experiment by themselves.
Focus On Fun
Very young players from this age love to play. Therefore, practices are based on fun games.
Sense of Team
Players are given different responsibilities in order to develop a sense of team.
Relationship Building
Players have to build a relationship with other players for the first time.
Basic Skills
Basic motor skills like walking, running or jumping are combined with ball handling and ball control.
