u8/u9 Academy players will practice once per week at the location/time you register for with one of our School of Soccer Staff Coaches for 8 weeks. These high energy training sessions are focused around fitness, fun, and developing individual technical skills with the ball. Academy practices run approximately 75 min. In addition to weekly practice day, players will participate in a total of 6 games held on Saturdays. We have two leagues within the Academy -the Youth League & Select League.

All u8/u9 Academy practice locations, times, & dates can be found on our website: www.boiseyouthsoccer.com under our Fall 2022 Schedule.

Youth League games will be Saturdays at Camels Back Park (except the week of 9/17 due to Hyde Park Street Fair). Exact times will be announced at the beginning of the season, games will be the same time every week. Youth League offers a flexible attendance on game days (great for multi-sport athlete that are juggling busy schedules, newer soccer players, and/or experienced soccer players looking to have fun while working on their skills). Players will be grouped together in semi-randomized teams each Saturday by the School of Soccer Staff. Bundling friends together on the same field/team is one of our top priorities when separating the kids into teams, but most importantly we try to make sure that teams are as evenly balanced as possible.

Select Team games will be played on Saturdays. Time and locations will be announced at the beginning of the season. The Select League is a great fit for players looking for the next step in their soccer careers who are ready to prioritize soccer this season. Due to specific and smaller rosters we require a high level of commitment for this league. Our u8 players will play in our u7/u8 Select League and will still practice once a week at the Academy practice you register for with our School of Soccer Staff, but also will have an optional 2nd practice one time a week with their team lead by a parent volunteer coach. Our u9 Select League (our pre-competitive league) players will practice twice a week with our Staff Coaches in a u9 Select League only practice. There is a separate registration link for our u9 pre-competitive players. Two uniforms are required for the Select League (an orange and black uniform- each $25). Select League registration closes August 22nd.

Academy Uniforms may be purchased for $25 during your registration checkout. Uniforms for the Fall 2022 season are the same uniforms that were worn for the Spring 2022 Season. If your child's uniform from the Spring 2022 season still fits then you may opt out of purchasing a new one for the Fall 2022 season. Uniforms can be picked up at your practice.
