What is the difference between HYSA Club teams and the Pre-Academy?
The Pre-Academy program is designed for beginning players and runs in 2 sessions ~ one in the fall and one in January of each new year. Players can sign up for one session at a time. The Pre-Academy program is led by the LJSA Chelsea staff and teaches the fundamentals of soccer in a fun, non-competitive environment. The Pre-Academy program players are not on teams nor play in games. Oftentime, the Pre-Academy players move to the HYSA program once they have developed their skills and want to make a year commitment to a Club team.
The Club program is a competitive year round program and players are placed on teams that compete in the HYSA league.
What are the practice days/time and coach assignments?

How does the Chelsea FC and Le Jardin Soccer Academy partnership look like?
The mission of the LJSA Chelsea program is to instill a love and a passion for the “beautiful game” that will live within the hearts of LJSA Chelsea participants for the rest of their lives. For the individual player, it means developing the physical, technical, tactical and psychological components that melds with our team style of play. Our team style of play is one that is possession based, built from the back with a creative attacking style.
Our coaching staff works alongside with Chelsea FC to build a curriculum that supports our mission. Additionally, Chelsea FC England staff visit quarterly to deliver coaching curriculum, aid in training and player development, foster community outreach and conduct camps.
