The Junior AZURI Academy program is dedicated to the development of U6-U9 children who love soccer and express the desire to play, learn and improve beyond the traditional recreational soccer season. The program’s primary objecctive is to deliver professional and age appropriate instruction throughout the year to young players, with the purpose of developing correct technique, motor skills, creativity and building confidence on the ball, all while having fun !

In the Winter and Spring, all Junior AZURI Academy members will practice two days per week, and have the opportunity to play small-sided games one additional day per week. The small-sided games help players develop at an accelerated rate with more touches on the ball, which in turn creates more opportunities for players to improve at an acclerated rate. In the Fall, Junior AZURI Academy members will practice one day per week in addition to their regular REC team practices and will play games in the Fall REC league with their own teams in their appropriate age group.
