Kids at younger ages are learning to LOVE the game. We aim to fuel their passion by teaching basic principles of the game, utilizing game-like scenarios. Player development is the focus, rather than results. Skill acquisition & creativity, are encouraged within a Growth Mindset environment - FAIL -> FORWARD. Players are placed on teams based on ability to ensure constant opportunity for challenges. The primary principle at this age is FUN and CHALLENGE.
As players make the transition from recreational level (Youth Development Program) to the pre-competitive level (Youth Academy Program), WSA Soccer offers a number of programs to suit families' needs and commitment levels.
- WSA Youth Development Program - is a development program for introductory, ages 4-10, which is a seasonal program for athletes choosing not to commit to soccer year-round and wishing to stay in a local environment.
