Who can play Academy?
Any player who will be a U9 or U10 player for the Fall season is eligible to join the academy program. Every effort will be made to place any player wishing to play academy that is a U9/U10 player. In addition, each season there are a limited number of places available for U8 players who are ready for more challenge and wish to help 'fill out' the academy teams. There is no guarantee that a U8 player will be accepted. Players are not liminited to their home club - players can try out at any metro club they feel is a good fit.

How are teams formed?
Players who register for the program will practice together and then be put on like ability teams. The academy program is different than a recreational or competitive team in that players can freely move between teams and/or guest with other teams in the club.

How many teams and positions will be filled?
There is not a set number of teams or players per age division. As many teams and players as can be formed with the set of players and available coaches will be formed.

Should I be concerned if my player is not on the "first team"?
Academy is about player development. Teams will not be designated as first, second, or third - but rather by the Coach's name. Please try to refrain from ranking the teams. Players will be placed with the team of kids who are most like them in ability. During the season, it is common that players will move from team to team or guest play with other teams as the opportunities arise. Academy teams will play primarily Friendlies (games with no score or standings) and tournaments. The nature of Friendlies allows us to be flexible in moving players around with different groups.

We won't be here during registration - what do we do?
Contact the Director of Academy ,Keith Hagen, to see if any special arrangements can be made.

We just moved here or my child decided they want to play?
Contact the coach of the team or the Director of Academy, Keith Hagen, to see if there are any openings. It is not uncommon for players to join the Academy program mid season if space permits.

What if I sign up and change my mind later?
You can remove your player from the academy team between seasons (Fall and Spring). If you choose to remove the player mid season, a partial refund may or may not be available depending on the timing. Players in the Academy program are allowed to return to recreational teams without restrictions.

If my player is on an academy team will they be guaranteed a spot on a competitive team?
No. Academy is about development. In the Academy program, all players wanting to participate are encouraged. Competitive teams are formed by try out. As many competitive teams as can compete will be formed, but that does not guarantee all players a place. However, it is to your players advantage to have participated in the Academy program. CVFC coaches will have had the opportunity to see your child play and your child will have been exposed to quality coaches.
