The Academy is the heart of our club, providing professional, age-appropriate soccer coaching to youth aged 6 to 9 years old. We welcome all new and experienced soccer players into the academy.
​
We strive to create team environments in which every player can be successful. Players will be placed into a team with others of similar age and ability.​
​
Your child's enrolment in the VRFC Academy will include:
1) Two training sessions per week
Our team training will take place on Tuesday and Friday evenings (6:30-7:30pm) at Trillium Turf
Tuesday evening classes will focus on foundational skill acquisition. Each player will have a ball at their feet for the majority of the session to maximize their development and confidence.
Our Friday sessions will comprise of non-competitive small sided games in which we will play VRFC teams against one another to put our learnings into practice.
​

2) Top quality coaching from a certified team
To ensure our players are receiving quality training, our team of energetic and experienced coaches hold recognized coaching certifications. They are experienced in coaching children aged 2-19 all over the world, including the UK, China, USA, and Canada.
Your player will stay with the same coaching team through the season so they can bond with their coach and form authentic connections with their teammates.
3) Exceptional learning opportunities
VRFC players will have the chance to play against other teams in the lower mainland via exhibition matches and tournaments.
Players can also sign up for additional training through our small group sessions.

"Vancouver Rangers has been an invaluable place for my son to grow and build on his overall confidence and soccer skills over the past two years. He’s more in love with the game than ever and we’ve seen great improvements in his technical skills."
