Currently all Academy sessions will be held at our Burbank Campus for players Kindergarten through 5th grade. Sessions will be on field 27. Click here to view field map of the Burbank facility

The Burbank uniform is an all-black kit Jersey, Shorts, and Socks. You can purchase this kit at the Third Coast Soccer Store. We ask that they wear this kit to all training sessions. This being said, we recommend that you purchase more than one black top.

1. We want our young soccer players to touch the soccer ball more often and become more skillful with it! (Individual technical development) 2. We want our young soccer players to make less-complicated decisions during the game frequently! (Tactical development) 3. We want our young soccer players to be more physically efficient in the field space they are playing in! (Reduced field size) 4. We want our young soccer players to have more individual teaching time with the coach! Fewer players on the field and fewer players on the team will guarantee this! (Need to feel worthy and need to feel important) 5. We want our young soccer players to have more involved playing time in the game! (More opportunity to solve problems that only the game presents) 6. We want our young soccer players to have more opportunities to play on both sides of the ball! (More exposure to attacking and defending situations) 7. We want our young soccer players to have more opportunities to score goals! (Pure excitement)

We will email members through Playmetrics and post inclement weather updates on the BRSC website (brsoccer.org) and on the BRSC Facebook Page; however, please check the weather before you head out to the field!

BRSC has no official policy regarding makeup sessions. We do strive to make arrangements for either makeup options. We want our players training and playing; therefore, we do our best to accommodate. We can't control the storms/rainfall, and with limited indoor options, it can become challenging for us to make up every missed session.

All players in the Academy will train in Pools instead of "teams". These pools will be grade based, tiered, or parity. Players will move from pool to pool depending on what we are covering in the Player Pathway. All professional coaches will work with every pool on the Academy to ensure that every player receives all that each coach has to offer.
