Programming for the 2023-2024 soccer year is broken into 3 age-based divisions: U3/U4 (2020 & 2021 birth years), U5/U6 (2018 & 2019 birth years) and U7/U8 (2016 & 2017 birth years).  Details specific to each age group are outlined below:

U3/U4 Little Kickers: For most players this will be the first step into organized sports.  The primary focus in this age group is to introduce players to the sport of soccer.  Our curriculum allows children to experience a well-rounded approach to establishing the many critical characteristics that go into athletic success.  It all begins with FUN, and focuses on building confidence, social skills, group dynamics, agility, spatial awareness, coordination, fitness, self-esteem, listening skills and much more!

This age group will meet once a week on Saturday mornings for 8 weeks for 45 to 60 minutes.  All sessions will be held at Busey Road Park.

U5/U6 Future Stars: The priority at these young ages is on individual player development in a fun and rewarding environment.  This age group is where we introduce a training environment as well as a "competitive" game atmosphere.  One time per week, volunteer coaches will run the provided professionally designed training sessions they are provided with the assistance of Barcelona United club level players and/or coaching staff members.  Players will also participate in eight 40 minute long games on Saturday mornings during the season.  Our curriculum focuses on age appropriate activities and creating a child centered learning environment where individual technical skill comes before team tactics.

This age group will have one 60 to 75 minute practice on Monday or Wednesday evening.  Games will be played Saturday mornings at Busey Road Park.

U7/U8 Junior Strikers: This program is a continuation of our player development curriculum.  The primary focus for this group will still be individual technical development, however tactical concepts will be introduced and developed.  One time per week, volunteer coaches will run the provided professionally designed training sessions they are provided with the assistance of Barcelona United club level players and/or coaching staff members.  Players will also participate in eight 50 minute long games on Saturday mornings during the season.  Our curriculum focuses on age appropriate activities and creating a child centered learning environment where individual technical skill comes before team tactics. 

This age group will have one 75 to 90 minute practice on Monday or Wednesday evening.  Games will be played Saturday mornings at Busey Road Park.
