This is what a training morning in Cooper City actually looks like. Small groups, coaches on the field with the players, and four pitches running at once.

Why Cooper City families train here
Brian Piccolo Park is not an hour squeezed onto a shared public field. It is four pitches reserved for Raptors, inside one of the largest parks in Broward County.
Four fields reserved for us
Raptors has three turf fields and one grass field booked at the park. Age groups train side by side without crowding, and nobody loses half a session waiting for space to open up.
Coached by people who have played
Our staff includes former professional and college players holding recognised youth coaching certification. They teach technique because they were taught it properly themselves.
A real curriculum, week by week
Every session sits inside a structured eight week plan. Each week builds on the last, so your child is working toward something rather than repeating the same drill.
Everybody plays, nobody sits
No tryouts, no cuts, no bench. Children train in their own age band and at their own level, so a first timer is never thrown in against players years ahead.
Here since January 2022
Brian Piccolo Park was the second Raptors location to open in Broward County. Cooper City families have been sending their children here for years, and most of our new players arrive through a recommendation.
A park, not just a pitch
175 acres of Broward County parkland with walking paths, picnic areas and open green space. Parents and siblings can make a morning of it instead of waiting in the car.
About Brian Piccolo Park

Raptors Soccer Academy has three turf soccer fields and one grass soccer field reserved at the park. That is what lets us run several age groups at the same time without children standing in a queue for space.

Choose your training schedule
Two options at Brian Piccolo Park. Both follow the same eight week Raptors curriculum and the same age groupings. The difference is how often your child trains.
Sunday only
Sunday
One training session a week. A good fit for families with committed weekday evenings, or for a child trying organised soccer for the first time.
Wednesday and Sunday
Wednesday (Indoor at Granada)
Sunday (Outdoor at Piccolo Park)
Two sessions a week across the eight week season. Roughly double the touches on the ball, and over a full season the difference in a child’s confidence is hard to miss.
Places are grouped by age, so registering early gets your child into the right session. Not sure which option suits your week? Call us on 954 361 4632 and we will walk you through it.

Questions Cooper City parents ask
We coach children from age 2 through age 14 at Brian Piccolo Park in Cooper City. Players train in separate age groups, so a four year old is never on the field alongside a thirteen year old. Our youngest band is a pre academy session focused on coordination, movement and first touches on the ball.
No. There are no tryouts, no cuts and no bench. Every child who registers trains and plays. Our Cooper City programme is built for beginners and recreational players, and coaches work with each group at the level it is actually at.
We run two options. Sunday training on its own, or the Wednesday and Sunday programme for players who want to train twice a week. Sunday only works for families with busy weekday evenings. The two day option gives your child roughly double the ball contact across the eight week season.
