Pre-Academy soccer is competitive soccer for children ages 11-14. Teams are formed at tryouts based on skill levels of players and teams play at a level of competition best suited for that team. This full-year program focuses on soccer skills, team play, and game tactics. Licensed coaches work with the kids through the year including winter training opportunities.
Pre-Academy Classic
WIUFC Select (Ages 11-14)
Classic level soccer teams compete in the East Central District which includes the Green Bay, Appleton/Oshkosh, and surrounding areas. Teams play fall and spring seasons to determine the winners of the divisions and teams winning their divisions typically get promoted to the state level the following season. This level of soccer is perfect for players still refining their skills or starting out a little later. Games are on weekends in the fall and weeknights in the spring.

Pre-Academy State
WIUFC Elite (Ages 11-14)
State-level soccer is for teams that have had success at the district level and move up to compete against teams across the state. Players that make the rosters on these teams have proven themselves at tryouts and on their previous teams that they are ready for the additional challenge. Increasing the level of competition demands more of the athletes and gives a good gauge of how they are progressing. Games are on weekends in both fall and spring.

Pre-Academy YNL
WIUFC Premier (Ages 13-14)
Youth National League (YNL) teams are club teams that have excelled at the State level and were accepted into the higher league. Teams in the YNL leagues are in WI and surrounding states (MI, MN, IA, and IL) so games are typically compressed into a weekend of play to reduce travel. Travel is required to any of these states and tournament play is generally farther ranging as well. Athletes on these teams are hard-working and dedicated to playing at the highest level possible with a goal of starting on their high school team and beyond.
