Junior Academy U8 - U10
TCSA Junior Academy encourages individual development, playing games in small sided formats and follows the recommendations, guidelines and principles that the US Soccer Federation. Players at this age focusing on fundamental skill development.
The players are now able to play in competitive games and tournaments for the first time at the club. The Academy aims to continue developing the individual player to be confident on the ball. Ball mastery is our main goal while starting to incorporate some team concepts.
If we are able, we may train groups of U-9 and U-10 players of similar ability together during the course of a training session. All games are played in a 7 vs 7 format, one goalkeeper and 6 field players in a “teaching” shape that changes fluidly as we either defend or attack. The age group will play the vast majority, if not all of it’s games and tournaments in the Middle TN area.
