All practices are planned in advance. Coaches will provide training based on the experience level and age.
With various skill levels throughout the academy, some players will be challenged more to maximize their potential.
For children in the U8 age group and older, we utilize a goal size of 6x18 with goalkeepers instead of the regular 8x24s. The 6x18 smaller size is more appropriate for the younger players.
For those interested, we are offering a limited amount of goalkeeper training for u8s and older.
Our program utilizes a small sided game format because its better for skills development than a larger game format.
The smaller game format allows players to have more touches on the ball.
At the younger ages, it is not appropriate to play larger game formats like 11v11 until a player has mastered the fundamentals and can process abstract elements of the game.
