JUNIORS

Cap City Juniors is designed for six- and seven-year old's.  Juniors helps continue to bridge the gap from Cap City Kickers to our full Cap City teams starting at U8.  Having seen that players come to Cap City at under 10 and under 11 not having developed the requisite skills that a player their age should have, the Cap City Juniors curriculum, building on the foundation created in Mini Kickers and Kickers, continues to teach young players good practice habits, reinforces their technical skills and confidence, and builds on their enjoyment of the game.

This is a completely in-house program. While other clubs/teams may tout the league that their U7 and U8 teams are playing in and traveling an hour each way for a 45 minute game, we keep everything in-house. Not only does this keep things more fun for the kids (who wants to spend two hours in the car just to play?!), but it allows us better control of the developmental environment. This is a common sense approach to youth soccer!

Often times we hear that families are reluctant to join a “premier” club for various reasons. The Cap City Juniors program clears that hurdle while creating a more productive developmental environment that players will find more challenging yet also more enjoyable.

What sets this program apart from other local programs for the same age?

• Training once per week using a coherent, structured curriculum that maximizes time spent on the ball, not standing in lines!
• No Travel! All games will be held at the same time each Saturday morning during the Fall and Spring seasons. Winter game day times will vary slightly due to space restrictions.
• Larger training pools that allow us to better tailor smaller training groups to each players current developmental level.
• A unique 5v5 (4+GK) game format that will put the focus on development rather than winning and losing
• Experienced, licensed coaches
• An 8:1 to 10:1 player to coach ratio

Your youth soccer program should do more than just teach soccer. At Cap City our focus is on training our players to do things the right way, work hard, and be respectful. We know that by emphasizing these qualities the results will be long term success both on and off of the soccer field.

Program Details - NEW FOR 2024/25:
This year we are making some significant changes to the Juniors structure to better fit our players and families needs.

• Three separate sessions - Fall, Winter, and Spring
• Players can register for a single session or all three. Multiple session discounts are available when you register for each session at the same time.

• One Day per Week Training
• Choose either the Tuesday session or the Thursday session
• Both training groups will come together for Saturday morning Game Days

• Cap City 2017 (U8) Teams
• For any 2017 birth year players looking for a little bit more than our Juniors program offers, we are adding U8 teams to our programming for the first time this year.
• U8 teams will train 2x per week and play in a travel league. They will have 1-2 league games on weekends in Fall (Sept/Oct) and Spring (Apr/May). U8 teams will also train 1x per week during the winter months with optional league play.
• More information on our U8 teams will be available here shortly.

**Players can join the program at any time throughout the year**
