  Chesapeake Junior Academy:
The "grassroots" program for primary objective of our Academy program is to enable players to learn the game of soccer in a fun and stimulating environment. We have partnered with a proven leader in youth soccer and program delivery Beach FC. Both clubs focus on developing players skills to help them be the best soccer players they can be, while maintaining a healthy and positive environment our Academy is offered in the fall and spring  see details below for better age development breakdown.
  Junior Academy (U4-U7):
The Junior. Academy Program is our grassroot first step developmental training program for players ages 4 to 7. Our joint Academy Director(s) focus on building the foundation for the future. Players have one training session per week and one match day. Match day is small sided games 3v3 or 4v4 to small goals to enable all the players to be engaged and always playing. We constantly strive to put players into appropriate player groupings to keep them challenged and have fun. 
Junior Academy:
For ages U8-U10 our one training session and a match day. Players will be in small sided activities and expanded match formats pending the focus of the training plan. At these ages it is extremely important for players to master the skills and fundamentals needed to progress towards Challenge and Classic soccer at the older ages as they progress from 7v7, 9v9 and eventually to 11v11 match formats. Winning games is not the focus and while matches will be played, no standings will be kept.

 Challenge:
Challenge Soccer is our next level of play after Chesapeake Junior Academy. This program is for players ages 8 -19 who want to improve to the next level of play and start playing against other clubs in the area. Challenge soccer is a one year commitment (both fall and spring) provides two training sessions and one match per week during season with opt in for tournament play if desired by the coach and team.
  Classic:
Classic Soccer is our travel program for those boys and girls ages 10-19 who want a more progressive and rigorous schedule with a higher competitive match level than challenge (advanced soccer) or recreational soccer options.
