    Young Legends League (U5-U8)
    IntroductionProgram Details

    The Young Legends League provides beginner boys and girls players in the U5-U8 with an age-appropriate program structured to provide children a fun experience playing soccer in small-numbered games. Game formats provide for fewer players on the field, thus increasing the opportunities for involvement, ball contact, physical activity, and enjoyment.

    Supervision and instruction is provided by both volunteer coaches and Manitou FC coaching staff.  Players are guided in games and one weekly training session by volunteer coaches while a second “club lead” session is conducted by Manitou FC coaching staff each week during the league season.

    Team Formation: Teams are formed based on the age groupings of Under-5/U5, Under-6/U6, Under-7/U7, and Under-8/U8. “Under or U” indicates that the team is composed of players who are younger than the respective age indicated, based on the cut-off date of December 31. Because of this policy, no team will have players assigned who are the age of the team or older. For example, no player 8 years old or older would be placed on an Under-8 team. Teams are constructed based on their respective gender.

    Young Legends Beginners (U3-U4)
    INTRODUCTIONPROGRAM DETAILS

    Our Young Legends Beginners program is designed for young children with an emphasis on movement education, e.g., running, jumping, skipping, turning, and changing directions, that aids the development of basic athletic qualities. An introduction to soccer begins with the involvement of a soccer ball in activities that form a relationship between the individual’s movement and the ball, further developing foot-eye coordination as well as their personal touch on the ball.

    Given the age of the participants, the development of socialization skills and learning how to play is also a significant element of the program as these young boys and girls are likely participating in their first ever sporting experience.

    Season 2024:  January–April  

    Age Group & Gender:  Ages 3-4 Boys and Girls  

    Birth Years:  2020-2021  

    Time:  5pm–5:45pm  

    Location:  TCO Garden 

    Days:  Mondays 

    Session 1:  1/22, 1/29, 2/5, 2/12, 2/19, 2/26,  

    Session 2:  2/26, 3/4, 3/11, 3/18, 3/25, 4/1,

    INTRODUCTIONPlayer ExpectationsTryouts + FeesCamps

    About the Elite Academy League

    Launched in the 2020-21 season, the Elite Academy League (EAL) is comprised of over seventy-five member clubs who represent their market within a regional conference against other like-minded clubs who seek a higher level of competition to enhance their player development initiatives within their boy’s programs. Today, the EAL is comprised of seven conferences spanning the country with the Midwest the most recent area of expansion

    View League Map +

    Why Participate in the Elite Academy League?

    A platform of competition that provides our club with an enhanced environment for player development by providing the following:

    • League structure and policies support Manitou FC’s player development plans.
    • Provides more balanced competition against other like-minded clubs.
    • Allows players a “seasonal break” to play for their local high school team.
    • Provides a regional program of competition over several months of the year.
    • League calendar helps coaches build each age group’s annual training plan.
    • Exposure is provided to players looking to continue their soccer journey.

    Club & Team Participation Expectations

    It is important that players and parents have an understanding of the expectations that participation on a Manitou FC team requires. The following age group overviews have been developed to provide as much information as possible so that families can plan accordingly. Manitou FC supports multi-sport athletes within Orange and Black Team levels and asks that any athlete having such conflicts, especially during the winter season training program, communicate directly with your team’s coach to coordinate schedules and attendance. Multi-sport athletes must be “pre-approved” by the club’s Sporting Director to play on an Elite Academy team. Please note that Pre-EA programming for U11 and U12 age groups provides additional competition events for these ages.

    If you have any questions about the player expectations or would like further clarification about age-group programming, please email Edi Buro, Manitou FC Sporting Director, at SportingDirector@ManitouFC.org.
