Recreational & Academy Differences

Skyline is excited and proud to announce a new soccer ACADEMY program starting Fall 2021. The Academy program is a pathway for recreational players and teams U8-U15, looking for more player and team development and exposure to a more competitive environment. The Academy programs allows teams and players the benefit of staying on a team with friends, but adds in a weekly developmental training session with Skyline Staff coaching. The staff coach trains the entire team once a week and focuses on Technical and Tactical training to further develop each player and the team as a whole. This is a great blend of recreational players and teams becoming more competitive players.

Skyline continues to have Recreational and Competitive programs, but saw a need for the in between. Academy program has the benefits of recreational with the staff training to become more competitive. This program is offered for players U8-U15.
