THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO PREMIER SOCCER.
JUNIORS is a twice per week introduction to team soccer where players learn new skills and use them in fun weekend games.
The Eastside FC JUNIORS program is designed as an introductory soccer program for boys and girls looking to improve their soccer skills in an age-appropriate and FUN learning environment. This training can be supplemental to other activities or can be a player's sole focus.
Our professional coaches, with extensive experience in developing youth soccer players, create a positive learning environment and apply Eastside FC's training philosophies to each practice.
The program's goal is to develop passion for the game at an early age and provide a solid technical and physiological platform for these young players to use as they progress into our EFC premier program.

PROGRAM FOCUS
Juniors is designed to create a fantastic soccer experience for young players, emphasizing not only essential game skills but also valuable life lessons in a supportive and secure setting. Our planned sessions encourage physical development and fitness through a mix of movement exercises, skill drills, and exciting gameplay. Young athletes are mastering essential soccer techniques like dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending, and their development is evident during games each Saturday.
Beyond the physical and skill enhancements, we are dedicated to nurturing social skills, teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship among our players. This approach fosters lasting friendships and a strong sense of camaraderie within the team. We are consistently amazed by each player's dedication and positive mindset, making their progress in soccer a joy to witness. Keep up the fantastic work!
"Each week, we build on the things we are learning, mostly through playing lots of fun games."
