KFA NXT GEN

Our KFA NXT GEN program is designed for players born between 2018-2015, as an introduction to the sport of soccer before graduating to the academy program. This program will help players develop the core skills used in soccer, such as ball manipulation, coordination, and awareness, while emphasizing fun, teamwork, and respect.

Youth Academy

Our U8 Academy program is designed for players born between 2018-2015, as a way for players to build on what they learned in KFA NXT GEN through game-like activities and play, and will help players build on their core skills and prepare them for the 7v7 game.
