2021 Spring Academy

MVSC is pleased to announce our 17th annual Spring Academy soccer program.  The Spring Academy is open to players of all levels whose birth dates fall between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2015.  Our program will provide participants with a fun, developmental training opportunity during the spring season.  Our Academy training program is also an excellent means for players to improve their soccer abilities in conjunction with their participation in other spring sports.  MVSC had over 600 registrants in 2020 -- Please sign up early when registration opens on February 28!

Our Professional Coaching Staff will implement a strong, established soccer curriculum which emphasizes:

  • Individual skill development
  • Tactical components of play in small-sided game formats (1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, 4 vs. 4, etc.).  
  • Coordination/movement mechanics and fitness
  • Players will be grouped by gender*, age, and level of play in order to ensure an appropriate curriculum and level of challenge for all participants

*For sessions referred to as "Coed," participants will be grouped by gender whenever numbers permit.

  • All sessions will comply fully with public health guidelines.  As of 2/26, contact in training is permitted, and players are permitted to play soccer without social distancing.

Participation in our Spring Academy is NOT required to tryout for MVSC's fall-based Competitive or Development teams.  However, spring participation will facilitate the skill development and disciplined training habits necessary to enjoy success in these programs.  

*Any player who is registered with a Competitive Team in a non-MVSC club must obtain written permission from their club's Director of Coaching and e-mail that permission to fullertonsoccer@yahoo.com prior to registering with our program.

SCHEDULE

The Academy program will begin the week of Monday, March 15 and the final training session will take place on Friday, May 14.  There will be no training sessions during the week of April 5-9.
