More touches.
More decisions.
more development.
The foundation years are the most important years — so we do them right. Competitive 4v4, 7v7, and 9v9 in the Arlington Academy League, built around small-sided games where young players get on the ball constantly.
Small games,
big development.
We don't rush kids into full-field 11v11. In 4v4 and 7v7, every player gets hundreds more touches, faces more 1v1 moments, and makes more decisions per session. That's how real players are built — from the ground up.
Train twice.
Compete every weekend.
Academy players train twice a week on assigned Mon–Thu evenings at The Stable and compete on Saturday game days in the Arlington Academy League — real competitive soccer from U7 up.

Everything a young player needs.
Four things separate an Academy season at Aledo from just playing games on the weekend.
Small-Sided, More Touches
4v4 and 7v7 put every player on the ball constantly — hundreds more touches, more 1v1 moments, more decisions per session. That repetition is how technique becomes instinct.
