College of the Canyons is inviting youth soccer players from across the Santa Clarita Valley to participate in the Community Soccer Youth Development Program, running from April 13 to June 4, 2022.

Open to boys and girls in kindergarten through eighth grade, the eight-week academy will be led by COC soccer coaches and staffed by intercollegiate soccer players from the Men’s and Women’s Soccer programs.

COC’s Youth Development Program offers a high-caliber curriculum that creates a uniquely fun learning environment for players wanting to build and improve their soccer skills. By combining skill-emphasized training sessions, player-centered drills and small-sided games, the program focus is on player skill development with an emphasis on building confidence in young soccer players.

All training sessions and play dates will be played at the COC Soccer Facility located on the college’s Valencia campus, featuring a state-of-the-art FieldTurf Revolution 360 playing surface and infill system complete with LED stadium lights.

Proceeds directly support the COC women’s soccer program.
