Programs:
CYAA Soccer offers programs for ages 5 – 15. Our goal is to offer programs that develop the player’s skills and offers them an opportunity to play at an appropriate competitive level. The Rec program is offered for ages 5-9 and is run by players from the SNHU Men's Soccer program. The Travel program, Candia FC, is offered for ages 8-15 and has a long, rich history of fielding successful teams in the New Hampshire Soccer League.
The program is structured in a way that the younger kids join the Rec program at the age of 5 and during the 3-4 year period gain the skills and confidence so they are ready to join a Stingers (Girls) or Storm (Boys) travel team at the age of 8 or 9 years old. The CYAA partners with Soccer Sphere and the NH Soccer Academy to offer skills based training to our athletes.
Candia FC runs separate seasons in the Fall and Spring. Each season is a new registration and a player does not have to commit to both seasons. For the Fall Season, evaluations will be held as needed based on the registration numbers in each age group. For the Spring season, returning players in good standing from the fall are guaranteed a roster spot for the spring season, but must be registered by the applicable deadline to confirm their spot. It is at the coach’s discretion to add players if the coach determines that roster space is available. The coach has the discretion to hold an evaluation of the player before adding them to the team, and has the option to make the player a “practice only” player until they are deemed ready or roster space is available.
Each outdoor soccer field has lights fields which support 7v7, 9v9 & 11v11 Games. Every travel team is guaranteed each season to get one game under the lights. We also have an indoor turf field which is utilized for winter training and indoor practices during inclement weather.

About Soccer Sphere
The coaching staff, led by UNH Head Men’s Soccer coach Marc Hubbard and SNHU Head Men's Soccer coach Josh Taylor, includes some of area’s finest coaches and our camps are organized to ensure each camper is being trained at the most developmentally appropriate level. However, no matter what age or ability level, we stress the importance of technical fundamentals, team play and sportsmanship.
Our goal is to challenge you each day, but our objective is to build confidence as well as increase each camper's playing skills and knowledge of the game. But most of all... our objective is to have FUN! Soccer Sphere strives to enhance individual skills in a developmental appropriate, fun and engaging way. This is achieved with the thoughtful planning of a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and diverse coaching staff. Each coach is committed to the development and happiness of each camper. Daily contests, small sided games and lessons on sportsmanship are only a few of the many things that our curriculum creates to help promote learning and will leave you wanting to return next session.
