Blitzz Youth Academy

Overview:

The Blitzz FC Spring 2020 Youth Academy Program is for anyone born in 2008,2009,2010,2011,2012. This program continues to work on individual development while introducing team tactical concepts and focusing on player and personal developmental approach.

The Youth Academy is designed to provide a high level of professional coaching in order to continue to take advantage of the Golden Age of Skill Development, and also gradually increases competitiveness by introducing games against other clubs from nearby while still keeping it fun and minimizing costs. Players in the Blitzz Youth Academy can expect to travel 5-7 out of the 12-16 weekends, and play nearby on the remaining weekends. We will typically do not travel further than Helena, Billings, Great Falls, or Missoula for Saturday games during the spring season with tournaments being the exception.
