September 8th- October 11th 2025
For Players Ages 5 to 10 (U6-U11) Two 1 hour training sessions between 4:00 and 7:00 pm weekday Game day on Saturday Morning Location: Sports Park at CCBA- 1 Taylor St. Lebanon, NH 03766

How it Works - Lightning Soccer is offering professional soccer development to enthusiastic soccer players of all ages.  We train at the turf field at the CCBA.  Director of Coaching Sasa Cirovic, Academy Director Lucas Richardson, and Academy Coach Ned Harris will design and lead the sessions.

Lightning Academy uses the pool training concept to ensure your player is consistently in a high-quality training environment. Pool training shifts the focus away from team development and prioritizes individual player development. During pool sessions, academy players will be grouped together with players who have similar skill levels with the understanding that players develop at different stages. 

Increased competition, an improved training environment, and accelerated player development are all by-products of pool training. 

Where - We train at the Sports Park at the CCBA.  The fields promote learning with a consistent, well-maintained surface and walls to contain the group and increase touches per session.  Both fields have lights and any snow that arrives will be removed.  

What to Wear – All players should wear appropriate athletic wear, shin guards, and cleats to each session. Returning Academy participants can wear their previous LSC gear, provided that it still fits. Some sessions will be chilly, so plan to have access to some tight-fitting long-sleeved gear, a hat, and gloves.

What to Bring–All players should bring a labeled water bottle to each session. LSC will provide a ball at training.

Groupings- Players will be grouped by birth year, gender, and ability. Space is limited to 25 per Group. Approx. 18 sessions per group.

BONUS FOR PARENTS: 2 Free Passes for a workout at the CCBA!!
