Nordic U9 & U10 Program
Introduction to technical fundamentals while nurturing a passion for soccer.
What to Expect
Our club's youngest team development framework
This development soccer program for our club's youngest team is the beginning of the 'Nordic player pipeline'. Our staff of highly qualified coaches and educators introduce players to the technical fundamentals of the game while continuing to nurture and develop each player's love for the game.
Tryouts & Registration Process
Nordic hosts tryouts for the upcoming season in early July. Players are introduced to the coaching staff and philosophy. Tryouts allow coaches to get to know players personally and give families the opportunity to see if club soccer is a good fit. Following tryouts, registration paperwork is sent out, and initial payment is expected within two weeks to accept your spot.
