PRECOMPETITIVE - FALL

WHAT IS THE PRECOMPETITIVE PROGRAM?

The PreCompetitive Program (formerly known as Bridge) is open to U7 players for Fall 2025. This program offers a structured environment focused on developing foundational skills, game tactics & teamwork, and serves as the first impression families have of "Competitive Soccer."


The goal of the program is to provide families with a program that blends pieces of

Recreational Soccer:

  • single location travel and competition
  • seasonal commitment

and Competitive Soccer:

  • some travel events
  • paid coaches
  • player ID

while providing an experience to prepare players to progress on the player pathway toward the Competitive Program when age-eligible at U8.
