2019-2020 ACADEMY TEAMS (U8-U10 BOYS & GIRLS) The CSC Academy is committed to the development of youth soccer players. It is our intent to provide an “experience” like no other for every child in our program. Our professional coaching staff will challenge each individual player to advance their individual technical skills by teaching the fundamentals and reinforcing proper application and technique. The Academy program will also encourage players to be creative and explore the game through small sided games as recommended by US soccer. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY Player Development is our goal. We strive to provide practice and play opportunities that provide an opportunity for players of all levels to develop fundamental skills and understanding concepts of the game in an age appropriate progression. Our curriculum is modeled after USYS and other world renowned International Soccer Federations GRASS ROOTS DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS. Players gain valuable experience playing with different players Players will get experience playing different positions on the field, including goalkeeper Flexibility in roster selection for competitions. Players gain valuable experience working with different CSC staff coaches Development of social skills and friendships amongst ALL PLAYERS in the age group. LONG TERM AGE GROUP SUCCESS AND COMPETITIVE TEAM FORMATION. This system will establish a strong foundation of players that will carry the age group forward as the field sizes change and the number of players on the roster increase each year. U8à4v4/7v7àU9/10à7v7àU11/12à9v9àU13+à11v11 We strive to challenge every player to compete at their best and demonstrate their competitive spirit. Our player development model is NOT OUTCOME DRIVEN. Although we strive to be competitive in our games and events, OUR FOCUS IS DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. WINNING GAMES does not supersede our player development objectives. Fundamentals are KEY (Ball Mastery, Dribbling, Passing, Shooting) Basic Tactics 4v4/7v7: Positional Awareness, Defending and Attacking Principles Social/Behavior: Focus, Discipline, Team Work, Conflict Resolution, Competitive Spirit As the players progress into older age groups they will be given an opportunity to compete on a state, regional and national level for championships, this occurs when they move to 11 v 11 at U13. ACADEMY is just the beginning of the player development journey and we want to instill a LOVE for the game of soccer and keep the game FUN while developing well-rounded, technically sound players who have a desire to play and compete for many years to come.
