The program will include practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with summer league games on Saturday mornings and early afternoons. This is a 3 month, 3 days a week program. The structure is very similar to what families would experience in a club setting for soccer and other sports. There is no cost to participate, just a one time $40 cost for the uniform as it is in partnership with MLS. The location is split betweent practices at Behm Park and Saturday games at Fremont school. Please review the flyers below to sign up.
