Our CBS Junior Academy is for both boys and girls ages 4 to 7 years old.  Our Junior Academy Director recruits and trains our volunteer coaches and provides age-appropriate training that will teach young players the necessary skills to develop individually.  All teams are within our club with practices and games being played at Mitchell Ellington Park.  Practices are twice per week and games are Saturday mornings.  There is no travel required. 
The registration fees include game jersey, shorts and socks and a trophy at the end of the season.

As your child makes their way through the academy, our coaches will be able to direct you and your player to the next soccer level depending on your child's development, interest, and family needs. 

Spring season usually starts in February and ends in April.  Fall season usually starts when school resumes and ends before Thanksgiving.  Registration is usually available about two months before the seasons start.

Equipment needed: All children are required to wear soccer shin guards under their soccer socks, soccer cleats (no baseball/softball cleats with front toe cleats are allowed), a size 3 soccer ball, and a thermos with water.  If a child wears glasses, they need to be a plastic sports style or sports goggles.
