RECREATIONAL JUNIOR Academy Program
2025 SPRING Registration IS NOW OPEN.
The 2025 Junior Academy SPRING season will feature all girls teams throughout the entirety of the fall season.
JERSEY NUMBERS - When ordering uniforms please choose the player's date of birth day. For example, if your child was born on January 5th, then his/her jersey number should be #5. For twins, choose an alternate high number (i.e., jersey #33).
The Recreational Junior Academy program is for players U7 (2018 Birth Year) and U8 (2017 Birth Year).
