2023-24 Season Details
We are very excited that the Brilla Juniors Academy program will begin early August. The Academy is a program designed to help provide more training to the younger ages in recreational soccer and provide a solid foundation for young athletes to learn and practice the fundamentals of the game. The Academy calendar follows a block schedule to most effectively work in tandem with recreational soccer. All Academy events are local; all tournaments and day trips take place on weekends and do not require families to stay overnight for any events. Below is an overview of the Academy season taking place from August through May.

Pricing structure:
To play in the Brilla Juniors Academy, there is a fee which covers player registration, tournament fees,
referee fees, and coaching compensation. The payment method is set up to mimic that of club soccer
so that we can mitigate any surprises once players make the jump from Academy soccer to club
soccer. The cost is covered monthly at $45/month for 10 months lasting from August through May and
takes care of all of the fees previously listed.
