Parents, players and coaches often seem to get lost in the midst of ’competive’ soccer. Here are some of our true goals for this age group;

 

1) To create a passion for the game of soccer

 

2) To create a fun learning environment - we usually have so much fun that players don’t realize they are learning too!

 

3) To develop the 5 pillars of the soccer player - keeping them age appropriate

   i) Technical - the fundamental of the game (dribbling, receiving, passing, finishing, etc)

   ii) Tactical - relevant to a U9 age level

   iii) Physical - motor skills, balance, fitness in a fun soccer way

   iv) Psychological - creating a winning mentality

   v) Lifestyle - nutrition choices, rest/recovery, self-esteem and confidence among their peers

 

4) To develop players who are ’game intelligent’ and can make the right decisions for themselves on the field.

 

5) To provide an environment that provides growth in character and leadership skills.

 

6) To develop players who love to compete and strive to put forth their very best effort.

 

7) To ensure that players learn the correct skills for their age so that they can play soccer at the next level.

 

8) To make new friends

 

9) To increase every player’s self esteem and confidence!
