PROGRAM
OVERVIEW FOR DEVELOPMENTAL AND ACADEMY TEAMS
Developmental and Academy teams will participate in
the largest youth soccer league in the upstate. This
league is very unique in that team skill levels are determined in the
first few weeks, then all the teams are re-bracketed to put teams of
like ability together. Teams of all age groups
will be formed, and separate boys & girls teams are available.
We want your youth soccer
experience to be as enjoyable as possible. If you have
specific friends that you want to play with - just let us know and we
will do everything possible to place you on the same team. You
can even sign up an entire team with us if you want. Skill levels
do not matter (as you will understand by reading below about the way
the league runs). The whole object is to learn and have fun.
VERY IMPORTANT - Due to
the size of this league - ALL AGE GROUPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH
GENDERS. If we have enough players to assemble a team of a
specific gender in one of these age groups - there are plenty of teams
to compete with.
Practices will be held twice
per week. The other practice is at the
desecration
of the team /
coach (location to be determined by the team membership).
All coach's must agree to
obtain NSCAA or USSF certification in youth
modules. The cost of this certification will be paid for by the
club.
