Strikers United West Junior Academy

The Strikers United West Junior Academy (SUJA) has been established to deliver additional training opportunities for young soccer players (boys and girls in the U6 - U9 age groups). Now entering its 15th year, the primary focus of the program is technical development, however all four cornerstones of long term player development (Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychosocial) will be addressed using a structured development curriculum.

The Strikers United West Junior Academy underpins the Strikers United program, and is an opportunity to expose talented young players to a higher level of training. The SUJA is open to players from all towns. Players should be highly motivated and prepared to work hard to attain a higher level of skills. Professional coaches from Strikers United and our partner the New England Revolution Academy will deliver the year round SUJA training sessions.
