JR ACADEMY PROGRAM
The Cap City Jr Academy program is for our Under 7 through Under 10 age groups. In the 2022-23 year, this serves our boys and girls players born between the years of 2013 - 2016! Players are assigned to a team based on birth year and ability level. Training focuses on learning the game of soccer with a focus on technical skills.
We try to offer every interested player a 'home' at Capital City in these young age groups, but we also have a partner recreational program in Austin Sports & Social Kids for the new or beginner players that are getting introduced to the sport.
It is our goal to help our Jr Academy players 'graduate' into our competitive select program which begins at the Under 11 age group.
OPEN HOUSE / FREE TRIAL SESSIONS
The Jr. Academy Spring season will begin with Trial sessions outlined below. These events are designed for players to try the Cap City program free of charge. Once trials are over, registration begins, and we kick off the regular season with set practice times of Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:00pm-7:15pm at our two different locations. Developing core technique, game intelligence and passion for the game are key for our Junior Academy program.
