U7 - U9 Age GroupIn order to set the foundation for strong competitive teams of the future, the Ottawa Royals will be running the winter academy program for the 2001-2003 aged players. Entrance to the academy session will be by invitation for these age groups. Invitations will be offered to those players who exhibit the necessary focus and determination requuired to practice and compete at a high level. Attending the Royals Academy - Winter Development sessions will help players develop and better prepare them for trying out for one of the club's competitive teams in the future. Tryouts for competitive teams occur in the spring. While the academy program is not a prerequisite to trying out for the 2010 U9 competitive teams, we strongly encourage all players serious about playing at a high level of soccer in the future to attend the academy sessions.
