The Blast Soccer Club’s Developmental Academy was created to train young players (ages 7 to 10) in the fundamental skills necessary to play soccer at a competitive level. Training sessions focus on the technical aspects of the game: dribbling & shooting, passing & receiving and heading. Fun drills and exercises will help club coaches teach these fundamentals. And using the philosophy that the game itself is the best teacher, much time in each session will be devoted to actually playing the game.

Girls & Boys registration for the fall Academy season will be held in August. Academy fee is $100 and is due at registration. Tournament play is not included in the Academy fee and will be assessed if needed.

Players will be divided into groups by age (7-10 and 11-15) and train on Mondays from 6:00-7:00 for U7 - U10 Groups and from 7:00-8:00 for U11 - U15 Groups. Parents are encouraged to attend the sessions. Players should bring cleats, shin guards, size 4 ball and water bottle to each session.

Teams will not travel overnight or participate in numerous tournaments. We may play limited friendly matches, but the Academy's purpose is to provide training first and foremost. Each player will receive a written evaluation of strengths and weaknesses at the end of the fall season.

The Academy is designed to provide high quality training to motivated players and focuses on training using a curriculum designed by our professional coaching staff and Director of Coaching Jamie Ferguson.
