Recreational Development Academy is designed to bridge the gap between the Recreational and Competitive programs. This program will give your child that higher level you are looking for with a set schedule and local games, providing the convenience of a recreational program but the competition of competitive soccer.
This program features a set schedule with practices on Monday and Thursday evenings and one weekend game on Saturdays. Teams will be formed by our professional staff after an evaluation period and players will be divided into smaller teams where games will be played 7v7 or 9v9, and teams will get the chance to participate in 2 competitive tournaments.
There are 3 Training Locations to choose from: Veterans Park, Chuck Rogers Park, Earl Johnson Park
