Each session will be one hour and will take place once per week with the goal of developing basic soccer skills and technical ability through fun activities, drills, and scrimmages.

""The spring indoor soccer has been a big success. We have seen a big improvement in the the players technical ability," said academy director Christos Economopoulos. "By keeping small groups, the players get more time with the ball and more time working closely with the coaches. We look forward to the 5 weeks outdoors to keep developing our soccer players."
