Young Legends U8
Young Legends U8 Academy
The Young Legends U8 Academy program serves as a bridge to the Future Manitou’s U9 – U10 Academy. It offers additional opportunities for age appropriate competition, increased playtime, and practice activities within their assigned team.
The Young Legends U8 Academy aids players in transitioning to Future Manitou’s Academy and provides both boys and girls who are passionate about soccer the chance to continue playing as they grow older. Competing against other clubs in scheduled jamborees allows players to test and develop their skills.
All sessions of the Young Legends U8 Academy are conducted by members of the Manitou FC Coaching Staff. These coaches are experienced and exceptional educators who specialize in working with this age group. Jamborees feature 5v5 games (including a goalkeeper), and whenever possible, games are completed within a two-hour window. Referees are provided for all matches.
