DEVELOPMENTAL PLUS+
Birth Years 2017 + 2018
This program is an accelerated program beyond our First Touch and Development (FTD) programs. Players are evaluated over a two week span and placed into groups of 10 - 12 players based on skill levels. These groups will be assigned a professional coach to train them over an eight month period (August to November and resume February to May). There will be movement of players in between groups throughout the year. This program is still about having FUN while developing these young players.
Games will be 20 minute halves. The players may play 7v7 or 5v5 games with a goalkeeper to mirror the PreSelect requirements. This will allow them to understand bigger spacing, connectivity between layers and avoid herding or bunch-up soccer. These groups will play in-house games and possibly play outside competition (other clubs) all on Saturday mornings. The assigned coach will coach these games. A mixture of girls and boys is possible in some of the games and within the groups.
After players have completed this program, they will then decide if they would like to play in the Competitive Recreational (CompRec) program or move into our PreSelect program where they will be placed on different skill leveled team.
