Lonestar Junior Academy

The Lonestar Junior Academy is designed for players who excel at the Recreational level and require a more challenging, developmentally appropriate environment in order to maximize their potential. Through an individual development model, the Junior Academy caters to developing and sharpening a player’s technique, confidence and creativity on the ball, while fostering decision-making both on and off the ball. Any U5-U10 player (based on the below US Soccer age groups), boy or girl, is eligible for the Lonestar Junior Academy program. All Junior Academy players are expected to demonstrate focus, and a willingness to learn and compete, and have fun.

Individual player development is achieved through a competitive learning environment and program curriculum that is modeled on core technical skills required to advance to the competitive/select level of soccer.

Two training sessions a week (for 12 weeks); One or two games a weekend, totaling for 8-10 games a season.
Team formation through early player evaluations to ensure an appropriate level of play and development environment.
No league standings, but competitive games against teams of similar ability with flexible team schedules.
No set rosters; players may be moved to train and play games with different teams to be challenged throughout the season.
Minimum 50% play time for all players.
No punting to increase player's ability to receive the ball under pressure.
No heading at training or games for player safety and minimizing concussion risk.
Matches and teams for U5/U6 may be coed based on registration and age appropriate matches/competition.
Uniforms are an additional fee and are purchased through soccer.com
A separate, additional tournament fee is also collected by team managers during the season (spring season only).
