Rising Star Program
Rising Star Program was designed to encourage Academy Players to be more creative and confident on the ball. Players will be rewarded for their willingness to learn and perfect new moves, such as the Maradona, Rainbow, etc. Players will also be rewarded for their dedication outside of practice to improving their juggling. After a set amount of stars, players will receive a certain color training jersey which they will wear to practice the remainder of their Academy career.
