This program is for our youngest players entering the competitive level. Our Academy players will play together as a team in the Fall 2011, train in the winter and play in the Spring 2012 Season. This group of players is chosen from our active pre-Academy teams and returning players and will play at the Maroon level in the MYSA league. Contact our Director, Craig Mallace (doc@cottagegrovesoccer.org) for information on joining the Academy. This is an invite only program so please discuss with Craig before registering.

Spring 2012 U11-U17 (All Levels)
U11 - U12 - $255
U13 - U17 - $285
This is our primary competitive season. Last year we had over 350 players participate in the Spring-Summer competitive season representing Cottage Grove United in MYSA league play against other clubs. This season starts indoors with winter training and continues all the way through July with the State Tournament.
Registration is available based on your age for the Spring program by following the registration buttons below.
Tryouts were completed in July and registrants that come in after Tryouts will be placed in available spots and on our C3 teams.
Payment Options:
Payment plans are available for the programs that cost over $100. The plans are 3 equal installments to occur Sept, Nov, and Feb 1.
Cottage Grove Select (CGS) is a great way for young players to be introduced into the world of travel soccer without the full time commitment! Teams will practice once or twice a week with the professional level training support you have come to expect from Cottage Grove united. Teams will play games within 20 minutes of Cottage Grove with one tournament. CGS will focus on player development within the framework of the training curriculum as set by the clubs' director of coaching.
This program is an opportunity for our younger players ready to move beyond the pre-academy program and compete for the club against surrounding communities. The teams will compete at the Gold Level in the traveling league. Uniforms will need to be purchased and will be the same as the competitive teams.
We have increased our fees for the upcoming season to cover rising costs and offer more to our players. Soccer programs provide year-round opportunities and training. As an example the Academy teams will start play in the September, train November - April, play again from May - July. 11 months of involvement for $315 is $28/month, a great value for a great sport.
Compare our programs and costs to surrounding clubs and you will see that we are equal to or well below their costs.
Payment plans are available for all the Spring programs with an intial fee at registration which covers tryouts and then 3 equal installments on Sept 1, Nov 1, and Feb 1.
