Dear Youth Academy and U9 parents,

We are always looking to increase the number of kids playing youth soccer and we are currently in a position to add players to our younger age groups for this year. One of the best ways we can add players is utilize our current families to help recruit players/families they know from school, church or other sports groups. As an incentive we will give current families a $25 credit for every family they are able to refer to the club (that ultimately registers to play). Families can refer as many new players as they want.

Any questions please feel free to contact Director of Soccer Operations, Chris Brennan, at chris.brennan@riorapids.org

Youth Academy Structure

Every player can attend any two age-group training sessions each week. The Club will host themed “Play Days” for the U5s and U6s 4 times in the Fall and Spring. The Club is also transitioning to a true Academy format for U7s and U8s in which players will compete in 8 games in the Fall and Spring against developmentally appropriate competition. This will help to maximize each player’s technical, tactical, and social growth, and enjoyment of the game. Guest clubs will be brought in to compete with Rio Rapids SC in a structured game-day environment, aligned with USSF Game Standards and Policies.
