Futures U7-U8

Spartanburg United Soccer Academy Futures Program

The Futures Program is designed for U7 and U8 boys and girls and serves as the foundation stage of player development at Spartanburg United. The focus is on creating a fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment where players build confidence, develop basic skills, and enjoy the game.


The program is led by Coach Nick Buxton and supported by assistant coaches, following an age and developmentally appropriate curriculum aligned with our academy model.


Spartanburg United is committed to investing in our youngest players by dedicating strong coaching and resources to this stage. Our goal is to build a strong foundation for long term development within the club.

The future is bright at SUSA.
