9U-10U ACADEMY

WDMSC Academy program is operated by Sporting Iowa
This 9U/10U program is more comprehensive than recreational soccer and is an excellent foundation for select soccer
. Professional coaching, along with a customized curriculum designed to maximize technique and improve fundamental decision making helps foster an engaging learning environment. While there are no tryouts, players considering the WDMSC Academy program should exhibit a sound technical base and a readiness to learn. Academy programming is available for both fall and spring seasons.
  • Players born in 2013 or 2014 are placed on teams of typically 10-12 players of the same age and gender. Teams are coached by both professional coaches and licensed volunteer coaches.
  • Each team plays seven 7v7 games (one per weekend) managed by licensed volunteer coaches against other local club teams with academy programs within the same age group. Games consist of two 25 minute halves, and are refereed by certified referees.
  • Each team plays an additional four games over two one-day festivals. One festival is against other local clubs, and the other are with clubs from the east side of the state.
  • Players participate in two 75 min training sessions per week over a ten week period delivered by Sporting Iowa's professional coaching staff and assisted by licensed volunteer coaches. Training is age appropriate focused on basic skill development with an emphasis on attacking and defending in pairs.
