Pomperaug Soccer Club uses an Academy format for U13/U14 in which players from these age levels play together. Teams are formed based on ability level.
The club has separate boys and girls teams, with teams entered in either A or B brackets (varying with registrations). Travel teams play the Northwest or Southwest District. Play is 11 vs. 11 on a full size field with full size goals. Games are 40 minute halves with a size 5 ball. Practice is generally twice a week with games on Saturdays for B bracket or Sundays for A Bracket.
Program Approach:
U13-U14: The primary coach will be an Everson professional coach who will run 2 practices a week as well as manage the games. However, we still require a Parent Team Manager to coordinate communications, logistics, and working with the opposing teams on scheduling.
At the Academy level, emphasize adult standards and formal rules, with focus on these areas:
Training for flexibility, speed, strength, agility
Diet and nutrition
Injury prevention
Soccer terminology and detailed rules
Warmups and cool downs Goalkeeper specific development
Registration Costs:
$350 each season
The club offers Early-Bird discounts (-$20) so register early to save!!
The club also adds on Late fees (+$45) - as any registration past the outlined dates causes additional work for our volunteers and the timelines that need to be met.
Uniform kits are an additional cost ~$100. Important details on the Uniform Replacement Cycle timing areHERE.
