Red Star Soccer’s Pre-Competitive Program: The Perfect Start for Young Players in Mountain View
Give Your Child the Perfect Start in Soccer with Our Pre-Competitive Program
At Red Star Soccer Academy, we know that every great player starts with a strong foundation. That’s why we’ve created our Pre-Competitive Program—a fun, structured, and age-appropriate soccer experience for young players ready to go beyond recreational soccer.
Based in Los Altos, CA, our Pre-Competitive Program is ideal for kids aged 4 to 7 who are eager to develop their skills, build confidence, and prepare for the next level of competitive soccer.
What Is the Pre-Competitive Program?
The Pre-Competitive Program bridges the gap between recreational soccer and full competitive teams. It’s designed for motivated young players who want more than just a weekend game — they want to learn, improve, and grow.
We focus on:
- Technical development: dribbling, passing, shooting, ball control
- Small-group tactical concepts: spacing, support, and movement
- Physical literacy: speed, coordination, balance, and agility
- Positive mindset: confidence, coachability, and love for the game
