2026-2027 ACADEMY Boys & Girls (8U-12U)

2026-2027 ACADEMY 8U - 12U

What is our Academy Program?

A unique program in which 7–12-year-old boys and girls receive quality soccer training in a fun and flexible environment. For many, this is their first experience in competitive play. The program supports a successful transition from 7v7 (8U–10U) to 9v9 (11U–12U), and eventually to 11v11 play at the Select level (13U+).

The Academy program follows an age-appropriate training system developed under the guidelines of Georgia Soccer (GSSA) and the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).

Age Groups for 2026-2027 Seasonal Year:

Divisions (as set forth by GA Soccer)

Under 8 Players Born August 1, 2018 – July 31, 2019
Under 9 Players Born August 1, 2017 – July 31, 2018
Under 10 Players Born August 1, 2016 – July 31, 2017
Under 11 Players Born August 1, 2015 – July 31, 2016
Under 12 Players Born August 1, 2014 – July 31, 2015

Positive Family Support:

Positive family support is the backbone of a successful soccer program. When families prioritize encouragement over sideline coaching, they create a safe environment where athletes feel empowered to take risks and learn from mistakes without fear of judgment. This culture reduces burnout, fosters a lifelong love of the game, and builds a strong, unified community.

Positive Coaching:

Positive coaching is essential to player development. By fostering an environment where constructive feedback is embraced and encouragement is the primary motivator, our coaches empower athletes to become creative, resilient, and well-rounded players.

Family and Coach Balance:

Technical and tactical instruction should come from the coaching staff. When players receive conflicting or repetitive feedback from the sidelines, it can create confusion and frustration. By allowing coaches to manage the game, families can focus on providing encouragement and support.

Focus on Technical Development:

Key technical skills include dribbling, receiving, passing, and shooting. These skills allow players to maintain possession, progress the ball, and create scoring opportunities. A strong technical foundation ensures players are prepared to advance through the Academy Program and into higher levels of competition.

Player Assignments:

Players are selected through a tryout process. Assignment factors include age, gender, skill level, and team/coaching availability. Accepted players will be notified by email following tryouts.

As players develop, movement between teams may occur. Growth timelines differ for every player, and evaluations take place each tryout season. MAYSA is committed to both player development and competitive success.

Player Movement During the Season:

Though a player is rostered to a primary team, they may be asked to play with another MAYSA team on occasion. Players may move laterally within their age group or play up in older age groups, but they are not permitted to play down in younger age groups (for example, a 10U player may play in 11U, but an 11U player cannot play in 10U).

Additionally, girls are permitted to play on boys teams, but boys may not play on girls teams unless the team is specifically designated as coed.

All player movement decisions are made by coaches on a game-by-game basis to support player development or meet team needs. A player’s primary team always takes priority.

Season Fees:

For the 2026-2027 Seasonal Year (Fall 2026 and Spring 2027), Academy fees are $1000. Fees include registration for a Fall and Spring season, Georgia Soccer registration and insurance, referee fees, professional training/coaching, field usage, equipment, and league administration. Players who accept a roster position are expected to participate in both seasons.

Uniforms:

Uniforms are required and cost approximately $150–$200 per player. The package includes:

2 game kits (home and away)
2 training jerseys
3 pairs of socks

Uniforms follow a 2-year cycle. The 2026–2027 year is the second year of the current cycle.

Practices:

Teams typically practice twice per week for 1.5 hours under licensed coaches at fields in Morgan County.

Games:

The Fall season typically runs from August to November. The Spring season typically runs from February to May. The goal is for Academy teams to play at least 10 games per season, half at home and half away. Games will only be played on the weekends. 8U-10U teams play 7v7 games, 11U-12U teams play 9v9 games. Games will consist of 2 halves, 25-30 minutes each.

Travel:

Travel is required. Most games are scheduled within 1–1.5 hours of home fields, with efforts made to keep travel reasonable.

Tournaments:

Teams have the option of participating in tournaments during the season (often pre- and/or post-season). Tournaments are a fun way to have additional team bonding and compete against teams we might not normally play! Participation is based on coach, parent, and player availability. Tournaments are an additional cost (not included in seasonal registration) and each player is responsible for payment prior to tournament registration and participation.
