MLSA Lebo Boys Academy Program 

Introduction: 

Welcome to the MLSA Lebo Boys Academy, a soccer development program tailored for boys player in Mt. Lebanon. Our academy is designed to provide a nurturing environment where young boys can embark on a soccer journey filled with learning, fun, and camaraderie. 

Program Goals: 

At the MLSA Boys Academy, our primary goal is to offer a soccer education that combines skill development, teamwork, and a love for the game. We aim to create a positive and low-pressure atmosphere where girls can have serious fun while honing their soccer skills. 

Age-Appropriate Training: 

The academy recognizes the unique needs of each grade: 

Primary Focus: 

  • Basic skill training and fundamentals. 
  • Introduction to 4v4 and 5v5 games. 
  • Eight-week program with two sessions per week

Curriculum Overview: 

Our curriculum is designed to cover fundamental skills, including ball control, dribbling, passing, and understanding the dynamics of small-sided games. As players progress through each grade, they will experience a tailored curriculum that aligns with their developmental stage. 

The Foundation Phase is dedicated to helping children establish a lifelong love for being active, fit, and healthy. Prioritizing individual skill, movement, and enjoyment lays the foundation for future success. 

Players will have ample opportunities to develop a good touch, explore various movements, and engage in problem-solving activities. A games-based approach fosters curiosity and a flexible approach to learning. 

Small-sided games are integral to a player's development. They increase ball contacts, encourage various movements, and enhance decision-making skills. 

Coaching Staff: 

The MLSA Lebo Boys Academy is proud to be led by a team of dedicated volunteer parent coaches. We believe in the strength of our community, and we're always looking for both female and male parents to join us as coaches. Previous soccer experience is not a requirement; what we value most are parents who are engaging, committed, and willing to learn. 

Our organization is committed to the development of our coaches, providing support in both coaching knowledge and technical aspects. Whether you're a seasoned soccer enthusiast or new to the game, we encourage parents to take on coaching roles and become an integral part of shaping the soccer experience for our young players. 

Join us in creating a positive and enriching environment for the boys at the MLSA Boys Academy. Together, let's learn, grow, and make soccer a magical journey for every player! 

Progression and Advancement: 

Players will experience a gradual progression in both skill complexity and tactical understanding. The program aims to prepare players for higher levels of play as they advance through each grade.
