Thanks to all the players, parents and coaches for a great Fall Outdoor Jr Raptor/Dactyl season!
What do you do if your soccer player is interested but not quite ready for a full soccer club program ? The Jr Raptors-Dactyls FC program offers just what you need to bridge the gap between recreational and a year long club soccer commitment. The players on Jr Raptors-Dactyls FC development teams are well prepared to take the next step to full club team soccer when the opportunity occurs.
The Jr's program offers three different sessions with licensed coaches and trainers. It offers weekly training, skill development, and games. Tournaments will allow the players to experience the fun and challenge of travel and more competitive games. In terms of recreation, Jr's teams play weekly games at appropriate skill levels.
Families get the opportunity to get a taste of club soccer without being overwhelmed by it. The Jr Raptors-Dactyls program will field teams for U7 thru U11, when there are enough players signed up to fill a roster. Players are invited to try out for Raptors-Dactyls FC teams at any time the coach and/or parents feel they are ready for the next level of competition. Players upon completion of the U11 Jr's program may either try-out for a full club team or return to a recreational league team.
Jr's teams play spring and fall seasons outdoors. An extended indoor season takes place during the winter months. Players are encouraged to participate in all seasons. Each session consists of training and a game each week. Teams will play in one or two tournaments each outdoor season.
