CESA/BRPD Fall & Spring Prep Academy Program

The CESA/BRPD Under-6, Under-7 & Under-8 Prep Academy is an add-on to the CESA Recreational, U6, U7 and U8 programs. The Prep Academy, run by Columbus East FC coaches, is a youth soccer development program for more serious and better skilled CESA players. Participants will be provided with an additional one-hour practice session on Friday evenings at CESA Easton Fields, several games/scrimmages, a home and away practice jersey, shorts, and socks. The Prep Academy players will be expected to wear their soccer kit for each practice session, and also for the scrimmages that will be played amongst each other throughout the season. Prep Academy players will still also be expected to join their CESA recreational team for practice during the week and league game every weekend. 

Club soccer commences at the Under-8 level. This program helps those pre-club age players who are interested in bridging the move more effectively from recreational soccer to club level. CESA Prep Academy’s mission is to develop creative, skillful, technically sound, adaptable soccer players who understand, love and appreciate the game. Columbus East FC emphasizes a player development coaching model.
