The Southside Soccer Academy was started to introduce U8 through U10 boys and girls to our competitive program and coaches. The Academy provides a wonderful opportunity to receive coaching from our competitive coaching staff and the chance to improve their already above-average skills.
In addition to year-round training, the Southside Academy players will play on Sundays in the Fall League (generally 2nd through 4th graders) typically replacing their participation in the Saturday Recreational League. During the Sunday League games, coaches will focus on teaching the building blocks of the game in an enriching yet challenging environment.
Southside Soccer Club is committed to providing opportunities for our members through programs that reach into our various groups and meet their specific needs. We have great facilities, an experienced staff and a first class curriculum. Our effort toward developing exceptional individual skill combined with basic tactics, within an environment that encourages taking risks in order to learn, will instill the love of the game and give the motivated player the tools to excel!
