The
academy has been started in an effort by the club to improve each player's
first touch. Better decisions are made by players who have that extra
second to decide what they want to do with the ball. That second is usually
the result of a good first touch. Juggling is a skill that is improved
by repetition. The more you do the better you will get. There will be
various levels for which players will be rewarded. The Academy Program
is open to our affliate Cougars club players.
