About Us

For over 25 years, ​LESZEK WRONA’S SOCCER ACADEMY & AJAX PREMIER PROGRAM has been offering Youth Clinics, Summer Camps, Youth Leagues, and a Premier Program which is centered around player development. Our objective is to teach players the basic fundamentals of the game, receiving, dribbling, passing, and shooting. Most importantly, helping players grow a love for the game by having fun.

AJAX PHILOSOPHY

AJAX IS MORE THAN A CLUB, WE ARE A FAMILY

The objective of AJAX PREMIER is to develop each player on and off the field and to instill the knowledge of the game’s simpleness, while building off of the basic fundamentals. The strong foundation of a player does not come from hours of practice, but rather through their integrity, respect, and passion.

The player that has a pure love for the game, will have the most fun and success. It is our goal to pass along our passion which will help grow the player’s love for the game. At AJAX, we hold each other accountable for what happens on the field, as well as off the field. We do this by listening to one another and observing what can be modified for the players and team’s success. The heart of our club is rooted in the game’s simpleness.
We call it SIMPLE SOCCER.

All of our team’s start with the basic fundamentals of the game and continue to build off of them. We look to improve their technique and build their confidence, while encouraging them to be creative and step out of their comfort zone. We will teach each player the skills to become a master with the ball, the courage to receive, dribble, pass, and shoot with ease. We do not measure success by wins and losses, but by the progress and growth of each player over time. We learn more from our losses and persevering through adversity. With this comes the long-term development of a player.

AJAX IS MORE THAN A CLUB, WE ARE A FAMILY.

We strive to work together by supporting one another, openly communicating, and being someone, they can trust and depend on. We enjoy the process of developing players, making memories, and providing each player with the skills which will allow them to be successful in their lives outside of the sport.
