Kicking off the first week of April at Aliber Soccer Complex, followed by sessions at Teamwork Acres and Grimes, Junior Menace helps educate children about the game of soccer, while improving soccer skills over a five-week period.

The program is open to children ages three through nine and is instructed by a professional coach with the help of our Menace PDL and older Academy players.

Practice nights for 3 and 4-year-olds will focus on coordination and balance exercises surrounding the game of soccer and game nights will focus on age-appropriate games that introduce the basic concepts of soccer.  The registration cost for one session is $50. 


Practice nights for the 5-9 year-old group will focus on technical footwork, speed and agility exercises and introduce "team" concepts, such as passing and spacing.  Game nights will feature small-sided games and teams will be formed each game night, so there are no "set" teams.  Players may be moved around on teams and fields throughout the game nights to encourage development and to help create a fun and challenging playing environment.  The registration cost for one session is $100.

Junior Menace is open to all skill levels and all new participants will receive a Junior Menace jersey.
