PROGRAMS
FIND YOUR LEVEL.
TEXAS ACADEMY LEAGUE
Rodeo SC competes in the Texas Academy League — a high-performance league founded by six leading Texas clubs and inspired by MLS NEXT. TAL delivers elite in-state competition, a streamlined travel schedule, and a professional-style development environment. High school age players can participate in school soccer while remaining part of the program.
USL YOUTH

MOMMY & ME
A fun, low-pressure introduction to soccer for the youngest players — with a parent right by their side. Sessions combine simple soccer activities with guided parent participation, helping children build coordination, confidence, and a love for the game through play.
LITTLE KICKERS
Little Kickers is a high-energy, game-based introduction to soccer where young players build dribbling, ball control, balance, and coordination through age-appropriate activities. With strong parent involvement and sessions led by coaches who specialize in early development, this program is the perfect bridge between first exposure and structured training.
OPEN TRAINING
For players who are ready for a more structured, competitive environment. Led by Rodeo SC academy coaches, sessions cover technique, coordination, and decision-making through game-based training. A direct entry point into the Rodeo Soccer Academy pathway where players can be identified for future placement.
CAMPS
Rodeo SC Camps are the perfect way for players of all levels to develop their game during the break. Camps are run by Rodeo SC academy coaches and focus on technical skills, small-sided games, and a love for the game in a fun, high-energy environment. A great opportunity for players to experience the Rodeo SC standard before committing to a full program.
