Set Up: U6/U8 Juniors program will be divided into two divisions (Champions and Premier) which will be divided based on both age and experience. Younger siblings can opt up into the upper division to be with their sibling if requested. Our *NEW* U4 Juniors Lil' Kickers program will be a separate division that focuses on fun and fundamentals, introducing our youngest players to the game.
Game Format: Juniors will play with 4 v 4 and no goalie and size 3 ball.
Locations: The Juniors programs will have clinics/games at their home fields at the MVNU Grass Soccer Fields
*Please note that while the Juniors program is only on Saturday mornings, we do want to offer select opportunities for Juniors players to practice with our Academy Teams. It's a great opportunity for them to get instruction from Coach Zach Ganzberg (Our Academy Director and MVNU men's soccer coach) and get a taste of what it's like to be on the U8, U10 and U12 travel programs for the future.
