Alexandria Growth program

3rd — 6th grade

The Alexandria Growth Program (AGP) bridges the experience between the Recreational League and Academy programs for 3rd – 6th graders. The AGP is for players interested in trying out for the Academy in the future OR for kids looking for an extra practice + game per week in a structured environment with professional coaches.

Participants are grouped into teams that will compete against Rec+ teams from other clubs in the area. All AGP coaches either have or are pursuing US Soccer Coaching Licensure.

AGP Program Summary & Cost
