NON-TRAVELING ACORN ACADEMY SPRING SOCCER TRAINING PROGRAM
~ A Soccer Program For Young Players Who Are Not On Traveling Teams ~

This program is geared toward players ages U7 through U11, grades 1 through 5. Please see
the application form for age groupings by soccer birth date. “U7”= under 7 and typically means first graders whereas U11 typically means fifth graders, but please check the chart to be sure.

Each year, the Oak Park River Forest Strikers’ Soccer Club offers a special soccer skills training program during the fall, winter and spring for young players who are not on a strikers traveling soccer team. There are no tryouts or cuts. In the fall, the program is usually an 8-week program (similar to a weekly camp), held after school or in the early eve at a soccer field in either Oak Park or River Forest. In the winter, January to March, the program is held inside a local school gymnasium, usually on a Sunday afternoon or early eve, but could be on a week night or Saturday. This winter program usually runs for 10 to 11 weeks. For spring, the program is the same as for fall – an 8-week program held in Oak Park or River Forest.

The program is for young players who wish to learn more about soccer, develop their skills and have fun. The professional coaches (licensed & certified) of the Oak Park River Forest Strikers Soccer Club provide the training.
