WIngs of Wilkes Soccer

WOW offers the Youth Academy program to boys and girls ages 8U through 12U that are ready to move from recreational soccer into the next challenge.

The Academy system is focused on player development over winning. The program, as recommended by US Soccer and the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association, is the best development option for children leaving recreational level programs. WOW Youth Academy coaches specialize in developing the youngest players and sharing their love of the game.

Youth Academy players train two nights per week for 90 minutes per session. They are encouraged to participate in additional sessions and events offered by WOW to its members at no additional charge.

The Youth Academy typically plays matches on Saturdays during the season. The seasons run 7-9 weeks during the Spring and Fall. Matches take place against Academy teams from other clubs in surrounding counties. Matches are played home and away. Drive time for away matches is 40 - 60 minutes. Youth Academy teams typically participate in one NCYSA showcase event per season.

Interested players must participate in an evaluation process that occurs prior to each season. To request additional information please feel free to e-mail [email protected]
