The objective of the Cannons Junior Academy program is to create and provide a more structured environment for players between the ages of 6-8. This program is designed to give those players and parents who so desire the opportunity to become better soccer players by training in a specifically structured environment with professional coaches and alongside like-minded players. The future of the game is in the young players. We have many talented youngsters here in the Cannons program whose skills and athleticism for their age is quite impressive. However because of their age they are prohibited by the state rules to participate in the full academy program. Our aim is to bridge that gap from recreation soccer to academy soccer. Our wish is not to replace recreational soccer but to offer another avenue of continued growth in the beautiful game.
