Furthermore, this program is an introduction to the Cleveland Force Soccer Club and opportunities to prepare players to advance into the full competitive program starting at U9. The Juniors program starts in mid-September and finishes in late-May with breaks for holidays and time off from school. Players can attend training options in three convenient geographical locations: Central (near east), West, and South. Players are welcome to attend additional training sessions at any location, if they choose.
Several Inter-squad "friendlies" will be scheduled at the various locations for each player to experience game speed and apply their fundamental skills from the program. Players will be strongly encouraged to play in their community travel soccer programs to continue their development process in games and training within a community setting.
Leading our Juniors Program is Kia Zolgharnain, who is a United States Soccer Federation Licensed Coach. Kia also serves as a Head Coach in the Boys Development Academy and the U9-U11 Boys Program Director with Cleveland Force Soccer Club. The Juniors Development Program is by invitation only.
