How does CNC Junior Academy organize teams?
We have built the CNC Junior Academy on a foundation proven player development model that establishes crucial skills and soccer concepts for all youth players from 5-8.
Our development model extends into game play on Saturdays. Instead of our youngest players being locked into a set team for the season, our professional staff organizes groups to play on a field each Saturday morning and we mix players throughout the game.
This approach helps our players to learn the game and experience a wide variety of situations within the sport that will aid in their mid and long term soccer development. Since training sessions and games are always at the same time, parents can show up and cheer their players on, no matter what goal they happen to be defending or attacking that week.
Lead Coaches
All training sessions and Saturday games will be coached by CNC Junior Academy Coaching Staff. These staff members have soccer playing and coaching experience and are versed in CNC Junior Academy curriculum.
Volunteers
Parent volunteers are welcome to participate within the program. If you are interested in being a parent volunteer, please complete the CNC Coaching Volunteer form online. Volunteer positions will be filled as needed. Registered volunteers will be contacted with information for our volunteer meeting in mid August along with other details ahead of the fall season depending on what volunteer position you are selected for.
Fall Volunteer Positions:
1. Volunteer Coach - Ideal candidates will have soccer playing experience and potentially coaching/teaching experience.

2. Field Marshal - Ideal candidates can be at the fields from 7:30-9am on Saturday mornings during the fall season to help set up for the day. Must be able to lift at least 25 pounds, move and assemble goals and other equipment.
