Start Learning Soccer Basics While Young

At the EPYSA's youth academy, kids learn the fundamentals of soccer early on for long-term success

At the East Providence Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) coaches work with children through the youth academy to help young soccer players reach their highest potential. Learning the correct basic fundamentals at the earliest age will stay with your child for life and help them achieve their highest potential. Likewise, learning the wrong things will hurt their long term development.

The East Providence youth academy will begin this fall. It will be a two-night program that will not have referees or scoreboards. There are tactical drills and footwork training and techniques to strike the ball better and harder. Conditioning and sprints will make children faster and mentally stronger so that they learn to stay focused when tired. Learning to play the way you face and speak a soccer language will only benefit your child as they advance into high school and college. Watch the video here.
