SLU’s JR Development Program is designed to teach children the fundamentals of soccer, by developing individual ball skills in a safe, friendly environment using age appropriate activities. The program is the first step on a pathway leading to a life long enjoyment of the game, giving players the foundational skills in order to play at whatever level they wish.
SLU’s Junior Development Program is for players ages 6-14, with the emphasis on skills development rather than on games and scores. The format is one night of training and one night of small sided games.
