The Path:

The path for an Empire United player starts right here! 2014 and 2015 players who participate in the Empire Futures league may move on to form the newest EUSA U8 Club team for the 2021/2022 season.

Training Sessions:

Our training sessions are a combination of technical footwork training, small-sided games, and game-like activities that allow our players to develop the creative, decision-making skills they will need on the field in years to come.

Game Sessions: 

On game nights, players will compete in 3v3 -5v5 games. These small-sided games are designed so that players will get as many touches on the ball as possible, which is crucial for both their skill development and enjoyment! Two spectators per child are welcome to watch inside the complex for game sessions!

You will have the option to enter multiple family members in your household after creating your personal account.
