Program Overview
Westside Metros FC Development Academy Overview
The Soccer Year runs May - April - the information below is for the upcoming Soccer Year.
The Westside Metros Academy, is a development program and provides training for boys and girls born between (U7-U10), who want to take their game to the next level. This program prepares players for competitive soccer and improves recreational players' skills.
The Westside Metros Academy is not meant to replace a player's participation in recreational soccer - but to enhance it. It is expected that players will participate in recreational soccer in addition to playing in the Metros Academy.
All coaches will be Westside Metros FC staff, who follow a curriculum focused on skill development for this age group. We believe players will develop to their best potential by providing them with the basic building blocks and strong technical skills.
