Where Every Player's Journey Begins.

Our Weekend Development Program is the foundation of Soccer Routes, providing children ages 2–12 with a structured, engaging and progressive soccer education.

Whether your child is stepping onto the field for the first time or preparing for more advanced play, our age-appropriate curriculum builds essential soccer skills, confidence and a lifelong love for the game.

A Complete Approach to Player Development

Our signature curriculum focuses on four essential pillars of development: technical, tactical, physical and psychological.

Through purposeful instruction and engaging drills, players develop ball control, coordination, decision-making and game awareness while building important life skills such as confidence, leadership, teamwork, respect and persistence.

A Pathway for Every Player

Our progressive class structure allows children to develop at their own pace, building upon their skills as they grow.

From Parent & Me and Independent classes to our Foundational levels and invitation-based Academy, each stage introduces new challenges while reinforcing the fundamentals.

Consistency Builds Confidence

Offered year-round across four seasonal sessions, our weekly classes provide the consistency, repetition and encouragement young athletes need to make meaningful progress.

Our experienced coaches create a positive, supportive environment where every player is challenged, celebrated and inspired to reach their potential.

At Soccer Routes, we're not just developing better soccer players. We're helping build confident, capable young people.

Trust the Process.

Our Intramural League is an additional development opportunity exclusively for players ages 5–12 who are enrolled in our Weekend Development Program. Active enrollment in weekend training is required to participate in our league.

Inspired by FC Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, our small-sided games encourage more touches on the ball, better decision-making and greater involvement in play.

While Weekend Development builds essential technical skills, our Intramural League focuses on applying those skills through gameplay. With active guidance from our coaches, players develop tactical awareness, positioning, teamwork and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

With an emphasis on learning over competition, players are encouraged to experiment, make mistakes and develop a deeper understanding of the game.

More Touches. More Decisions. Greater Understanding.

League options available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in North Hollywood and weekends at our Louis Armstrong location. Enroll by filtering by Activity on the Enroll page to see all league options. Active weekend training enrollment required.
