Folsom Lake Surf Pre-Academy Program (2013 and 2014) – competitiveness comes is all ages!

The Folsom Lake Surf Pre-Academy Program, is an early entry into the competitive landscape. The Pre-Academy Program is the perfect fit for those players that are ready for more advanced training, are focused on improving both technically and tactically, and are looking for a platform to demonstrate their love for this game…even at such a young age!

These young footballers, (U7s and U8s), get their first dose of a, (modified), year-round training program. Led by the Folsom Lake Surf DOC and Pre-Academy Technical Trainer, Reymond Harris, these players are developing their relationship with the ball, their technical abilities, their speed, agility, balance, and coordination. Pre-Academy players are tasked with meeting developmental milestones throughout their training program; all in efforts to prepare themselves for stepping up into the Academy Program when they turn 9, and ultimately Elite and Premier level teams when the time comes!

From 1v1, to 2v1, to 3v1, to team size rondos and 7v7 scrimmages, over the past couple years these players are learning to recognize space on the field and make tactical decisions with accurate execution.

U7 Pre-Academy teams play 4v4 games in the Folsom Lake Recreational Soccer league. U8 Pre-Academy teams play 7v7 games in the NorCal Premier League and start to experience a little bit of travel and tournament play.

And while 2020 has been off to a slow start, these young dedicated athletes are on the pitch every week, learning and growing with every training session. We can assure you that all Pre-Academy Players are quite eager to get back into competition play, and we are eager to see them take the field in Surf Blue!
