U8-U12 Foundation & Academy Groups
Held at our indoor facility in Wexford, PA, CSA’s Foundation and Academy Groups provide additional training for players who want to improve their individual skills, confidence and overall performance.
Team practices often involve larger numbers and focus on preparing the team for games. Our small-group sessions (max of 6 players per group) give players more time on the ball, more individual feedback and the opportunity to focus specifically on their own development.

Ball mastery and dribbling

Technical instruction and repetition

Groups are limited to a maximum of six players, allowing every player to receive meaningful repetitions and individual attention.
Choosing the Right Group
Our U8–U10 Foundation Groups are best for younger players and those who are newer to soccer or still developing their fundamental skills.
Our U10–U12 Academy Groups are designed for more experienced players who currently play club soccer and are ready for a faster, more challenging environment.
Players should select the session that best matches their current experience and ability—not just their age. If you’re unsure, please contact us and we’ll help recommend the right group.
If it is your first time, please book the session that is most age appropriate and we can advise further after your initial session.
