Tormenta FC Pre-Academy Program
The Pre-Academy experience is a seasonal program (fall and spring registration) for players born between the years of 2013 and 2019 that focuses on each player’s skill and passion for the game. Pre-Academy prepares players to progress to the Junior Academy level and beyond through a dedicated, professional coaching staff that provides quality, age-appropriate instruction at these key age groups.
We look forward to partnering with your family in creating positive experiences on the soccer field that will lead to an increased passion for soccer participation and exercise. Our program goals of fun, learning, and soccer play create memorable experiences that kids love. Register for Fall 2024 participation that will begin with training during the week of August 26th.
Spring 2025 Training/Game Details
The Pre-Academy program will feature two practices a week (1.5 hours in length) and a game on Saturday. Our practices will promote fun and learning and allow your young soccer player time to enjoy the game of soccer while learning skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and team play that will promote success for them over the course of future participation. We will organize teams on the weekend that will allow for competitive matches (6-8 games) where all participants are challenged while having an enjoyable experience.
We feature licensed coaches performing all of the training and game coaching for this program. We value fun, learning, and building a passion for sports participation. Our coaches have been trained to create an environment of positivity that will allow your child to thrive.
