Newton Youth Soccer is delighted to bring back the 2nd Grade Development Academy for the Spring 2023 Season
The supplemental program is designed to offer players in 2nd grade an additional opportunity to practice and play in a professionally lead environment. The 7 week program will provide 1 x 75 min evaluation session, 6 x 75min practice sessions with professional coaches, 2 x Sunday jamboree style game days in Newton and entry to a Memorial Day Weekend Tournament (TBD - Maybe Danvers Invitational).
The role of the program is to offer a local option for those players who want a bit more soccer in their lives, and will provide a more personalized approach to skill and team development whilst maintaining the fundamentals of the NYS vision; enjoyment of the beautiful game. The Development Academy will combine high level coaching with low pressure jamboree game days in order to prepare our players best for 3rd grade travel and beyond.

Additional information:
Space is limited to the first 60 players with the aim to have 5 to 6 'teams' created before or after the first practice. There is no tryout - every player is welcome. All players will practice at the same time and same location, but teams of 8-10 will be created to give an even spread of ability. Competitive jamboree games are crucial to this program.
PROGRAM REQUIRES 30 PLAYERS TO RUN.
Friend requests for teams will not be considered.
All games will all be at the same location in the mornings on Sundays. Jamborees will see each team have 2 games. Coaches will referee to allow maximum flow.
MDT - We used to compete in the Framingham event. We are looking for a new event for 2023 which will have a U8 bracket. We will enter as many teams as we need to - up to 10 players per roster.
