Program Overview
The Jr. Academy Program that is launching is designed for current U8 recreational players who want more out of soccer and are looking for additional quality training. The program is designed for both U8 boys and girls who are looking to join West Georgia FC's Academy program next year. The Jr. Academy will not replace the recreational program for that U8 player, but it will provide additional training led by our licensed coaching directors: Director of Coaching Bill Rucker(United States Soccer Federation C License), and Academy Director Joshua Bivens(United States Soccer Federation B License). These additional sessions will also involve training from our licensed staff coaches. The primary goal of the program is to provide a solid foundation for our talented young players to prepare for the Academy program at West Georgia FC, which becomes available to them at U9.
