Now Registering Spring Academy (begins May 4)
Our Academy soccer program is one day per week during the Spring.
For U8 - U12+ kids working on the basic fundamentals of soccer and aspiring to get on a travel team. Open to all players of any level, the Academy soccer program teaches personal ball control, positional development and field awareness through skills and drills, fun games, and scrimmages.
To ensure a proper player to coach ratio, there will be a cap at all levels. Once we hit that cap, we will stop registration for that age bracket. There are three different co-ed age groups that will practice on separate fields at the Mavis Complex.
Coach McCollum will be the head coach. We are looking for potential assistant coaches that will help run this program (discount will be offered to coaches). FC Columbia will create practice plans for the day and help the assistants on all fields as needed. We are looking for assistants that understand the game of soccer and more importantly, understand that to learn, players must have fun and want to practice. If you are interested in helping this spring season, please contact Coach McCollum (joe@fccolumbia.com) as soon as possible.
