CROATIAN EAGLES ACADEMY PROGRAM
FALL 2025
The CESC youth academy aims to provide young soccer players, who aspire to become a more accomplished player, an avenue to test and enhance their skills, while under the tutelage of USYS nationally licensed and accredited coaches. In addition, the CESC Academy program provides young players avenues to improve upon their technical, physical, social and the beginnings of their tactical understandings of the game of soccer. These young players begin to learn the guiding principles of the game of soccer using the CESC game model approach.
While the Academy program is designed for those seeking a higher level of competition, players of ALL levels and experience are encouraged to join, as CESC believes there is a fit for all players and we do our best to ensure that all players are maximizing their talents, being challenged appropriately, while having fun.
CESC Academy teams participate in WYSA accredited leagues and are one of seven clubs to be a part of the CLUB v CLUB model. This league, along with SECL Developmental gives players a robust and developmentally appropriate challenge.

Additional Costs (not included in club fees):
Winter Training and Leagues are encouraged, but OPTIONAL and will incur an additional cost. This is run through MM Athletics.

10uB red (and/or u10G red) may incur an additional cost due to playing in 11u leagues and events. Cost will be commensurate with u11 boys/girls fees.
Mandatory Fundraiser:
Each family is required to participate in the mandatory fundraiser(s) which help keep costs down and improve our facilities. This is added on to the player fees when you register instead of collecting down the road.
Volunteer Fee:
A one-time, volunteer fee of $125 will be charged to each family (not member) at registration. The volunteer fee ($125) will be refunded to families once they complete four hours of volunteer service.
Team Fee:
Teams will have an additional fee to help cover the costs of coaches travel and expenses as well as any additional events that may occur. This will be discussed and estimated at your team meeting at the beginning of the season. Costs are dependent on team and can vary. Invoices will be provided for this once schedules have been determined.
Scholarships:
CESC provides scholarship opportunities to families who qualify through the help of the Buco Memorial Scholarship Foundation and other generous donations. For more information email: Fredy Jany
