Academy Soccer Program - Ages 4-8 - Boys and Girls

What is the Program?

The Anthony Wayne United Soccer Club exists for the purpose of creating an atmosphere and environment where young athletes within the Anthony Wayne school system can learn the fundamental skills needed to play the game of soccer. This program is designed for boys and girls who are currently aged 4-8 and live in the Anthony Wayne School District.

Our coaches use the philosophies from US Youth Soccer and Ohio Soccer Association, in conjunction with our High School Lady Generals Soccer Program, to develop the skills necessary to play the game of soccer throughout the season -- dribbling, shooting, passing, defense, field awareness, etc. Focusing on the fundamentals and strategies, and applying them to a game setting is to prepare them for the organized soccer that continues into the United Program.
