PRE ACADEMY U6-U7-U8
Eagle Mountain Strikers FC is proud to launch our Pre-Academy Program for young players beginning their soccer journey. Designed for U6 players born August 1, 2020 – July 31, 2021, U7 players born August 1, 2019 – July 31, 2020 and U8 players born between August 1, 2018 - July 31, 2019. This program focuses on introducing the fundamentals of soccer in a fun, positive, and development-based environment. Players will learn basic ball control, dribbling, passing, coordination, movement, and teamwork while building confidence and a love for the game. Our Pre-Academy is the perfect first step for families who want their children to be prepared for competitive soccer in the following season. At Eagle Mountain Strikers, our mission is to develop local talent, build strong character, and prepare young athletes to proudly represent the name of our city at the highest level.
2026/27 Age Groups
The soccer age groups for the 2026/2027 season were changed to a school-year system in order to better align youth soccer with how children are naturally grouped in school and in most other sports. Instead of separating players strictly by calendar birth year, the school-year format keeps classmates and friends together, which helps create more stable teams, stronger social connections, and improved player retention. This change also supports long-term development by allowing players to stay with the same peer group as they progress through the years, making the transition into middle school and high school soccer more consistent. Overall, the school-year age grouping was adopted to provide a more familiar, balanced, and supportive environment for young athletes.
