The Junior Bayhawks Football Academy is the The Burlington Soccer Club’s advanced supplementary training program for our U10-U12 (2016 – 2014) Competitive Players. 

This program is for current Bayhawk Players only and is a professionally designed and structured development training program for those selected Bayhawks within our current Development program. Players will receive the latest physical, technical, and tactical training methods that are implemented at the world’s top football academies. Sessions are designed to improve and challenge their dribbling, passing, turning, shooting, and first touch. Each week the players will be provided the opportunity to learn and develop their individual technique and tactical awareness and be measured to gauge success. 

All sessions will be delivered by BSC Technical Staff & Licensed Coaches.
