Welcome to Legacy Juniors Next Academy!

More About Us

Legacy Soccer Club recognizes that appropriate instruction at early ages fosters success later in life. The Legacy Juniors Next Academy is structured as a friendly competitive program focused heavily on individual player development. Vital to the foundation of our club, our Junior’s focus is to enhance individual skill development, foster a passion for the game, and build self-confidence and character in our young players. Our training staff will provide age-appropriate technical instruction and teach game behaviors to our young players.

The Legacy Juniors Next Academy serves players born between 2014 and 2017 as a development bridge between the financial and cultural variances between recreation and club soccer, while providing the players, parents and guardians with an introduction into the professional coaching culture. We place a high level of importance on the technical development of its youngest players. We recognize that this is where the future begins and consequently, our priority in the Juniors Next Academy is the development of each and every player that attends.
