For the Fall 2022-Spring 2023 Season, the Trumbull Soccer Academy Teams available for boys and girls ages U7 (those born in 2016) and U8 (those born in 2015).
In 2021, Trumbull AYSO Region 186 and Trumbull United Soccer Club joined together to launch the Trumbull Soccer Academy.
The Trumbull Soccer Academy was created to offer a quality training soccer program, in collaboration with coaches from Tri-Town Soccer, for U7 and U8 players that want more than what is offered in the AYSO Core Rec program, but are too young to start in the CJSA Travel Soccer program with Trumbull United.
The Trumbull Soccer Academy Structure:
The major difference between the Academy and the Trumbull AYSO Recreation structure is there are no fixed teams under an Academy system. Instead the Academy players train altogether but divided into groups of players of the same ability, which normally aligns with players actual age and also allows players to train at the most appropriate ability. It also means that an individual player can move between groups to best meet their needs as they develop.
Additionally, while there are not fixed teams, the Academy will form teams to enter tournaments/jamborees and play friendly games.
When is the Trumbull Soccer Academy season(s)?
When you register, both the Spring and Fall seasons are included. The Trumbull Soccer Academy will start the Fall season in September 2022 and run through November 2022 and the Spring season will run from April 2023 to June 2023.
What days are the trainings?
All Academy players train on the same days and at the same time. This past year, most of the sessions were on Fridays, however we are subject to the field availability of the Trumbull Parks & Rec Department.
