The foundation of any successful soccer club around the world is found within it's youth development program.  Based upon the premise that playing the game of soccer is one of the best ways to learn it; players are placed into an environment where they focus on individual technical skills first, and play small-sided games.

Introduction to more competitive soccer and a bigger field.  Teams play in a structured league at LCS.  We introduce tournament play with one per season and typically in town at U9, and add in additional local tournament at U10.

Teams typically train two times per week for one and a half hours per session.

Teams start to become a bit more of a focus here in this age group, while still maintaining a strong focus on player development.  Players are placed into team/player pools where continuing to learn how to play the game and mastering individual technical skills are the main focus.  Exposure to tournaments and outside league competition continues at these ages.  Teams typically participate in the following tournaments, Clorox Cup, Metro Fall Classic, Champions Challenge, LCS Fall Classic, KC Select Mother’s Day, Tony Glavin Spring Classic, and many others.  Our kids begin playing against the best teams/players in the country and realizing what they are capable of doing.  Most league play will be at LCS.
