Academy of Champions: Soccer
Ages: Everyone

It's soccer played on a campus that looks like Hogwarts. Although it's soccer-lite - you play with a team of 5, and the characters are characters; it feels like real school - it has a daily schedules, the training drills build skills you need, there are short matches, kids to connect with, shopping, and you have Pelé and Mia Hamm to teach and inspire you. Eventually you will have to go face to face with the evil Scythemore Academy. During the game you will get surprise mystery guests. Hint - It is a Ubisoft product. It's fun and a well balanced game, and gives kids an introduction to soccer without being intimidating.

Fun Factor: Lots of
Female Factor: Games starts with a girl being admitted into the academy
