Academy Soccer's main emphasis is on skill development: the personal technical soccer skills the player needs to advance in soccer.
The commitment level is higher than in the HYSL (recreational league); there is travel and players practice at least twice a week and play games against other clubs or extended sessions at home fields on Saturdays. Saturdays and Sundays if at a tournament.
*U9s; anyone wishing to register a U9-year-old should contact Phil at info@helenasoccer.org.
*Generally, U9s need to be in third grade, and have a birth date before June 30th of their birth year. U9s when their birth year reaches U10 per USYS they will remain as an U10.
Players do need to purchase a uniform separately from the program fee. Uniforms are usually updated every two years.
Academy teams will play a travel schedule and play in our local tournaments that are included in the program fees. Efforts are made to keep travel close to home for matches.
