FCJ Overview

 

Cincinnati United Soccer Club is proud and excited to offer the Future Crew Juniors Development Academy for boys and girls.

The Future Crew Juniors (FCJ) program is a youth developmental academy that provides instruction to our youngest players (U5-U9).  This program is designed to be the developmental bridge from recreational soccer to competitive soccer.  The professional trainers from Cincinnati United will provide age appropriate technical instruction and teach game behaviors to the very youngest players.

FCJ is vital to the foundation of the Cincinnati United Soccer Club. The focus at these critical ages is to enhance and encourage individual skill development while establishing a love and passion for the game.   As coaches and educators, we understand the importance of correct and relevant instruction at an early age, which will help foster success at an older age.  The learning environment that we create will be positive and safe for these young players.  This will aid in building confidence, self-esteem, and the love and passion for the game.
