MVP U8 Academy
Mockingbird Valley Premier offers an option for our 2016 age groups. We recognize the need to provide these players with an encouraging and supportive pathway into club soccer and we have created this program to help fulfill this need. Our coaching staff at Mockingbird Valley Premier are excited to help bridge the gap between recreational soccer and a full club soccer schedule for young female players. With access to both an indoor facility, Mockingbird Valley Sports Complex, and an outdoor training space, our club is uniquely positioned to help young boys and girls continue to develop both on and off the field. The aim for this program is to help young players fall in love with the game of soccer, while still allowing them to explore other interests.
Players will train once per week along with in-house scrimmages and play dates on Saturdays. We will hold four, 8-week sessions for this age group throughout the course of the 2023-2024 season. Families will be free to choose to join all four sessions or pick and choose from what sessions best fit their schedule. This program is by Invite Only.
