T&C Soccer
Academy
Academy (U8-U10)
This developmental program is built upon a player centric model where individual development is our primary focus. We teach players the tools they require to enjoy the beautiful game in a competitive, developmental environment.

Our coaches work from the US Soccer Training & Planning Curriculum in order to make sure the players are being taught the appropriate information for their age, all sessions are built around the four pillars of the game; technical, tactical, physical and mental.
Children participating in the Academy will be placed on teams according to their skill level. Teams are be formed during the first week of the season and coached by paid trainers. Academy games are typically played at T&C Sports complex and potentially within the greater Austin area.
For new players born in 2014, 2015 or 2016 interested in join the program for the Fall 2023 season, we will be holing Academy Observations on the dates listed below. One at the end of the Spring Season and one prior to the Fall Academy and Recreational seasons. Fall program dates, details and pricing will be updated very soon.
