Rising Stars Soccer Academy
Our Rising Stars Academy is a progressive training program for ages 6-12 years old, with various levels and options available for different age groups.
Through utilizing a play-practice-play approach, this program allows players to have fun, learn and develop new skills, and experience games and game-like situations during each practice session. Not only will children improve their technical skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, they will also improve decision-making and autonomy. No more line drills, laps, and lectures – players will get straight to playing, learning, and improving in Starfire’s Rising Stars Academy!
This program is recommended for players seeking to elevate their soccer proficiency while engaging in a positive developmental experience from our team of over 15 U.S. Soccer licensed coaches. Our coaches are committed to nurturing each player’s growth, ensuring personalized attention and a structured progression of skills.
Season Details
Registration for spring season is still open!
Our summer season will take place from June 20th through August 21st , it will be 9 weeks in length.
Registration for summer season opens May 18th. Priority registration, for current participants, begins May 11th.
Rising Stars 1 is a great first step in your player’s soccer development. Each weekly session is 60 minutes long and the program is intended for those that have little to no game experience or have experience with just the basic soccer skills. Rising Stars 1 will teach the basics and help beginner players move to an intermediate level. We recommend that players stay in Rising Stars 1 for about a year or until the coach recommends them for the next level. Giving them several seasons at one level helps players master the skills at that level before they are progressed in a higher level class.
Participants may only participate in the day and time for which they register. However, missed classes can be rescheduled in advance through our Dash platform.
If your child is also interested in game play in addition to weekly training, consider our 4v4 mini league.

Some players stay at the intermediate level class and don’t have the desire to go to advanced, your player is welcome to stay at any level for as long as desired, progression is not required.
