In-House & Academy

In-House & Academy 

The Northfield Soccer Club In-House & Academy programs are non-traveling recreational soccer programs for youth ages 4-10. Offered in both the fall and the spring/summer, these programs are primarily devoted to the enjoyment and development of soccer players without an emphasis on travel or high-level competition. They're a chance for participants to have fun, learn the sport, and develop life skills.

About the In-House Program

The In-House program is for kids ages 4-8 (birth years 2022-2018). Players will train, play games and have fun.  The fall season typically runs from the first week of September through early October, and the spring/summer season begins in May and typically wraps up by the Fourth of July.
