The Alliance Junior Academy Soccer Program is the first step in our player development pathway and is designed for children ages 3–5 who are being introduced to the game of soccer for the first time. At Alliance Soccer Club, we believe early experiences should be fun, positive, and engaging, helping young players build confidence and excitement while developing a love for the game.

Sessions focus on fun, movement, and imagination, using playful, age-appropriate activities that encourage exploration and creativity. Players develop basic coordination, motor skills, and early ball familiarity in a supportive, pressure-free environment where effort and participation are celebrated.

Through guided play, children begin learning simple concepts such as listening, taking turns, sharing the ball, and playing together. Coaches emphasize encouragement, patience, and positive reinforcement, allowing players to learn at their own pace without fear of mistakes.

All activities are developmentally appropriate and aligned with U.S. Soccer best practices. At this age, success is not measured by scores or outcomes, but by smiles, confidence, and a growing love for soccer.

Play. Learn. Grow. Love the game.

Pre-K Program

The Pre-K Program runs as an 8-week season, featuring 7 total games and a fun end-of-season round-robin event. Games are scheduled across 5 Saturdays and 2 Sundays, with April 26 designated as the official rain make-up date.

Minis Program

The Minis Program includes weekday games held immediately following practice sessions, creating a smooth transition from training to game play. Thursdays serve as designated make-up days. The season consists of 8 weeks of practice and 7 weeks of games.

Both programs are thoughtfully designed to provide age-appropriate structure, consistency, and fun, helping young players develop confidence, coordination, and a love for the game, while keeping soccer exciting from the very first kick.
