Jr. Academy Home
What is Oconee Futbol Club doing regarding children that are 6, 7 and 8? We have implemented a Junior Academy program for this age group. This is NOT a recreation program. The training provided is by licensed professional coaches. It is the Next Level above recreation and intended to introduce the skills necessary to excel as a soccer player. This is a key point in time/age to gain the foundation for fundamental skills
Heading up training and games for the Jr Academy is Director of Coaching Dante Trevino. Dante will be assisted by Coach Mike White and several young coaches.
Training this spring will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:30 pm on the Oconee Veteran’s Park. Administrative aspects for the Junior Academy will be handled by Andy Pokoski. Questions or comments can be directed to Andy at ofc.academy@gmail.com.
The Junior Academy is designed to develop young soccer players through their formative years and to give them all of the ingredients they need to succeed in the game at the highest level. Players from an early age need to acquire the technical ability to master the ball and be proficient with both sides of their body. Players are placed into age and ability groups to train twice a week in addition to their core age group, with expert professional staff.
The staff will teach and develop these players to have the confidence, and the technical ability to enjoy the game and be successful at whichever level they find themselves upon their graduation from the Academy. It is the Academy’s primary aim to make soccer fun so that the vital ingredient of enjoyment is achieved at all times.
This is going to be a great year as players will have more training sessions and more inter club games. Junior Academy program will run in the Fall and Spring. We just completed our Winter Indoor program. Location? Oconee Veteran’s Park. Who can participate? Players in the age range 6, 7 and 8 are encouraged to participate,. The Junior Academy is for players who want to challenge themselves to reach the next level. Players need to be proficient in aspects of the game such as finishing, defending, passing and/or dribbling, or possess some good athletic qualities. The Academy is meant to challenge players to the next level of competition.
