U8/U9 Academy players will practice once per week at the location/time you register for with one of our School of Soccer Staff Coaches for 6 weeks. These high energy training sessions are focused around fitness, fun, and developing individual technical skills with the ball. Academy practices run approximately 75 min. In addition to weekly practice day, players will participate in a total of 6 games held on Saturdays at Camel’s Back Park. Game times will be announced the first week of practices. We have two leagues within the Academy -the Youth League & Select League. Academy practices will be co-ed and full of players from both leagues.

All U8/U9 Academy practice locations, times, & dates can be found on our website: www.boiseyouthsoccer.com under our Spring 2025 Schedule.

u8/u9 players will be have rostered teams (teams will be created based on friend requests, location of practice- although due to numbers teams may have mixed academy practice locations). Players will have fun in their soccer games while working on their skills with a staff coach on the field.

The Select League is a great fit for players looking for the next step in their soccer careers and wanting to prepare for competitive soccer in their future. We require a higher level of commitment for this league. Players will still practice once a week at the Academy practice you register for with our School of Soccer Staff, but also will have an optional 2nd practice one time a week with their team lead by a parent volunteer coach (if the coach/team chooses) and optional extra training with NBFC . Select Season registration closes when team rosters fill- so register early to confirm your spot.

Spring 2025 Saturday Games: 4/12, 4/19, 4/26, 5/3, 5/10, & 5/17
