What We Offer
⚽ JUNIOR ELEV8 FALL SEMESTER IS HERE! 🍂
We’re excited to announce that Junior Elev8 Academy is returning this fall with our new semester-based training program!
Designed specifically for players ages 5–8, Junior Elev8 provides the same professional-level coaching and positive environment as our Elev8 Academy — with every session built specifically for our youngest athletes.
Beginning Friday, September 4, players will train with us every Friday throughout the fall for 13 weeks of consistent development, learning, and fun.
📅 September 4 – November 27
⚽ 13 Friday Training Sessions
⏰ 4:00–5:00 PM
📍 Laguna Niguel Skate & Soccer Park
💰 $349 for the full Fall Semester
At this age, we believe the most important thing is building a strong technical foundation while helping players develop confidence and a genuine love for the game.
Throughout the semester, our players will work on:
⚽ Ball mastery & lots of touches on the ball
⚽ Dribbling, passing & shooting fundamentals
⚽ Coordination, balance & movement
⚽ Confidence and decision-making
⚽ Small-sided games & structured free play
⚽ Learning to compete in a fun, positive environment
Every session is led by our professional coaching staff and designed to keep players engaged, challenged, and excited to come back each week.
Most importantly, we’re keeping our groups intentionally limited so every player receives real attention and coaching throughout the semester.
Fall Semester registration is now open!
We’d love to have your player join the Junior Elev8 family this fall and spend the next 13 Fridays learning, improving, and falling in love with the game. ⚽🔥

Whether your player competes in club, recreational, or school soccer, the Elev8 Fall Semester is designed to help them continue progressing throughout the season.
Registration is now open for the full 13-session Fall Semester.
