U8 - U12
From U8 to U10, kids at the younger age groups are learning the game and developing the core skills to be an effective soccer player. Our mission at Sporting Athletic Club is to help players grow their technical skills and ‘Soccer IQ’ while ensuring the ‘love’ for the game is growing equally. Player development is the focus rather than results. Players are placed on teams based on their ability, so they are continually challenged.
From U11 to U12, Players become more serious about the game, and we begin to instill the four pillars of soccer. The emphasis will be to challenge players both technically and tactically while preparing them to transition to the next level.
U13 to U19
Our first teams compete in the Girls Academy League, the premier pathway for young female athletes striving to play at the collegiate level. As the top league for player development and exposure, the Girls Academy League provides unmatched opportunities for advancement into college programs across the country. Leading our Girls Academy program is Julie King, a nine-year NWSL veteran and the Boston Breakers' all-time appearance record holder, bringing elite-level experience and guidance to our players.
At Sporting Athletic Club, every team is built on a foundation of player development and exposure. Our focus is on showcasing talent and teaching athletes how to apply the four pillars of the game to compete at the regional and national level. With a commitment to bridging the gap between youth soccer and the college game, Sporting AC ensures players are prepared for the next step in their journey.
