U9 Fall Academy Pilot

U9 Soccer Academy Pilot Program Outline

For players born in 2014 and 2015.

About

This pilot program is an introduction to our game model in which players are grouped with others of similar demonstrated performance and move through specific curriculum for training. To deepen understanding of the game, players participate in a varied match-day experience, either playing in balanced or tiered games based on a periodization calendar. Players of all genders register for this program.

Program Entry

Players of all abilities and experience levels are welcome! After initial observations, players will be placed in similar training groups to improve coaching dynamics and competitiveness.

Coaching

Our technical team will plan and oversee the overall program that includes the program philosophy, training methodology, game model, curriculum, and coach education. Qualified technical leads are appointed to deliver, manage, and lead the program with support from volunteer coaches. The idea is to build volunteer coach capacity to help build future programming.

Sessions

Pilot session: Four weeks beginning September 12 and ending October 6.

Program Description
