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. These teams participate in local and travel premier leagues and tournaments over the course of the year.

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! 

Uniforms:

Uniforms should be ordered at the start of any training block and should be used for all four blocks of the season (Fall 2021-Spring/Summer 2022). Uniform kits include two jerseys, shorts, and socks. ($40 uniform kit cost- one time per year, does not need to be re-ordered each training block)
