Eclipse Premier is designed for players aged U11–U19 who are ready to challenge themselves at the highest levels of youth soccer. Building on the foundation established in Eclipse Rising, this phase introduces advanced team concepts and a deeper understanding of the Eclipse style of play.

Every Premier team trains three times per week, with one session dedicated to Sports Performance or Ball Mastery to support long-term development and game-day performance.

Players experience consistency and continuity across every team, building on the same methodology throughout their entire Eclipse journey. This unified approach ensures clarity, purposeful progression, and ongoing development at every stage.

Earn Your Place. Eclipse the Competition.
