Competitive Elite Program
2024-2025 Season
BRAZAS FC COMPETITIVE PROGRAM
The Program aims to teach and develop the basic concepts of the game of soccer to young children that are starting to be in contact with the game. Develop the players by teaching the fundamental skills, and strategies at the appropriate age level. Capitalize on each player’s talent and potential by exposing them to basic concepts of soccer. This will be conducted by qualified staff and a specialized curriculum for recreational soccer. It is also the goal of this program to expand players’ and parents’ knowledge and rules of the game, granting them an opportunity to learn how to play soccer while enjoying it fully. We offer these programs almost all year round so check back frequently for up-to-date information about new sessions.
