JOÜK is early development, before team competition.
Just like learning to read or playing an instrument, learning soccer happens step by step. We teach coordination and ball mastery first, the building blocks kids need before they compete on teams.
We train in small groups with highly-experienced coaches, and every child gets plenty of time with a ball. Through skills practice, fun games, and futsal + futnet, JOÜK gives young players a running start for playing this beautiful game.
Learn more about our Technical Development Program (TDP) for each age group, or our Centaurus FC teams our players graduate to after early training with JOÜK.
For ages 3 to 8: Spring indoor + outdoor skills training and fun small-sided games in Central Park & on the Upper East Side.
For ages 5-12: JOÜK Summer Camp this July + August @ E. 100th St. Indoor and outdoor training, games, futnet + more.

“My daughter loves soccer with Coach Walter. Coach Walter’s classes are age appropriate, lots of fun, and challenge the kids each week. I’m surprised at how much she learned. Looking forward to another season with JOÜK!”
