Coast FA

Coast FA Junior Academy provides a competitive, development-focused environment for U8 and U10 players preparing for full Academy soccer. The program blends weekday training with Saturday league play, guided by qualified Coast FA coaching staff and a curriculum built specifically for young athletes ready to advance their technical and tactical understanding of the game.

Players train twice per week and compete in local league matches across the Grand Strand area. The curriculum emphasizes ball mastery, first touch, dribbling, passing and receiving, striking technique, small-sided decision-making, and foundational attacking/defending concepts. Junior Academy is designed to challenge players, build confidence, and prepare them for the next level of competitive soccer.

Registration & Tryouts

All Junior Academy players must register to participate in tryouts. If a player is not selected, Coast FA will refund the difference and place the player on a CMC Coast FA Rec Team.
