Program Overview

Minnehaha Academy has two high school and two middle school teams. We are a unique program in that we are an extremely competitive program yet we also place a great emphasis on the social and spiritual components. The program is built on effort, improvement, respect and a lot of fun. We desire to make lifetime memories and friends as well as grow and learn important life lessons. Everyone that follows team guidelines will make and play on a team.

Off season activities optional for soccer include open gym soccer; an indoor soccer team; weight training; summer practice; Redhawk soccer camp; captain’s practice; summer fitness and skill training schedule and individual training with the coaches. We offer as much or as little as an individual player wants.
