Younger siblings can opt up into the upper division to be with their sibling if requested. Our *NEW* U4 Juniors Lil' Kickers program will be a separate division that focuses on fun and fundamentals, introducing our youngest players to the game.
Game Format: Juniors will play with 4 v 4 and no goalie and size 3 ball.
Locations: The Juniors programs will have clinics/games at their home fields at the MVNU Grass Soccer Fields
*Please note that while the Juniors program is only on Saturday mornings, we do want to offer select opportunities for Juniors players to practice with our Academy Teams. It's a great opportunity for them to get instruction from Coach Zach Ganzberg (Our Academy Director and MVNU men's soccer coach) and get a taste of what it's like to be on the U8, U10 and U12 travel programs for the future.
