WHAT IS IT?
The main objective of the WSA Academy is to help players become more capable and confident on the ball, while also helping them become better decision makers. We want to help them become better at reading their environment to make better decisions, based on what happens around them, and execute these decisions with confidence (technique).
WHO'S IT FOR?
The Pre-Travel Academy is for U8 players that seek to play travel and club soccer at U9 and above.

NEED TO KNOW'S
Is The Academy right for you?
At u7 and u8 we have two different options. This table below will provide a side by side of the major differences between the programs. If you have questions, please email our Academy Director.
U8 REC |
U8 PRE-TRAVEL ACADEMY |
|
2 days per week (Fall) 1 day per week (Spring) |
3-4 days per week for U8 |
| Less demand on time than the Academy alternative | The Academy program mimics the demand of the Travel program at U9+ |
| Sessions are run by a mix or professional coaches and volunteer parents for games | All sessions are run by professional coaches |
| Groups are pre-determined for the season with friend requests accepted (fall only) | No friend requests as players are exposed to different coaches and players throughout the program |
