The Fond du Lac Soccer Association is a WYSA accredited academy program and is part of the WYSA SECL Academy League for U9 (Born 2014) and U10 (Born 2013).  These teams will participate in regional academy league games in the fall and spring (6 games) and participate in 1-2 tournaments each season (fall and spring). Regular fall season schedules are typically available mid-August from WYSA and it is up to each team/coach what nights and times they practice based on what works best for that team and conclude in late October. In the spring the season begins mid-April and concludes mid-June. 

The cost to participate for the fall season for academy league is approx $200 per season plus the cost of a uniform (approx $125). If you have a uniform from last season, you should not need to purchase a new one. For those new to the program, this fee includes all player and team fees from the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association, East Central District, Referee Fees, League and Tournament Fees, and coach, training, field, and equipment fees. If you opt to play in the spring as well, the fee will be reduced based on one-time costs from the state and district for player and team fees. Registration for spring season will begin after the fall season is complete.

Training will begin for Academy in early August twice per week with 6 regular season games (typically on a Saturday or Sunday) in September and October. Each team will also play 1-2 tournaments in the fall. Each player will also have the opportunity to attend our Pre-Season Training Camp August 1-4 at the Fond du Lac Soccer Complex ($150). 

We hope you consider registering to play in the Fond du Lac Youth Soccer Academy League! If you have any specific questions, please reach out to me at anytime.

The Fond du Lac Soccer Association "Phoenix Academy" is a program available to girls and boys in the U9 and U10 Age Groups based on Birth Year. Soccer Academy programs are designed to bridge the gap between recreation league and select (competitive) league play focusing on player development from professional coaching to create the best possible environment for our youth soccer players to excel once they reach the select level at U11. 

The Phoenix Academy  focuses on these key areas: Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Psychosocial. 

• The Phoenix Academy will train twice per week. Licensed Coaches will follow a specific training curriculum approved by the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association focused on player development.
• All Practices will be held at the Fond du Lac Soccer Complex.  Practice Dates and Times are determined by each team and not set by the Club. League Games will take place on Saturday and/or Sundays. Half the league scheduled games will be home at the Fond du Lac Soccer Complex and half will be away. The SECL teams range from Fond du Lac, Plymouth, and Sheboygan down to the Milwaukee Area.
• The Fall League Season will start training in early August with League Games (6-7) in September and October. The Spring Season will begin Training in early March with Games starting Mid-April and Concluding Mid-June. Each season, Academy teams will play in 1-2 tournaments as well.
• Players may play Fall and/or Spring Seasons.  Registration for Fall Academy League will take place in Late June/Early July and registration for Spring Academy League will take place in January.
• Minimum Age: The Academy for 2022-2023 Season is for Players born in the calendar years of 2013 (U10) and 2014 (U9). Grouping is based on calendar year of birth. This is how US Soccer groups players, and how it is done at the Select/Competitive level once they reach that age. We do not group players based on school year. 
• Costs: The fee for Academy is $200 for the Fall Season and $150 for the Spring Season (if returning player). This covers all training, coaches, League Games and 1 tournament each season. Each player will be required to purchase a uniform. Each uniform kit is approx $125 (Jerseys, Shorts, Socks)
