Many young players have the ability and the desire to develop their skills in a more structured coaching environment, before they are old enough for Travel soccer. For those players, the VHSC offers the Mini Cougar Academy. The Mini Cougar Academy is a professionally run training option for young players to learn the basics from world-class instructors. Young players who enter the Mini Cougar Academy can expect to acquire the physical and tactical foundation that great players learn at a young age. Remember, there's a very practical reason why great players tend to come from the same parts of the world – they start at very young ages, learning the most important skills from the best coaches. Mini Cougar Academy is designed with that in mind and with the goal of developing great players for future generations.
