Player Development Pathway:
We have a pathway for boys and girls from ages 4 to 18 that provides an opportunity for every kid to enjoy playing soccer.
From beginner to advanced, from part-timer to fully committed, our goal is to provide a fun, safe,
and competitive environment for all kids to enjoy and grow in.
By combining our philosophy in teaching technical skills, using a simple playing style,
clear progressions, focusing on performances over results and allowing our players to make decisions and
express themselves creatively, we believe we are promoting our players’ long-term development.
Our pathway is broken into 5 phases:
U5 – U6: The Discovery Phase
o Having fun and learning to love the game
o Tactical Plan: Movement exploration and ball discovery. Dribbling and shooting.
U7 – U8: The Foundation Phase
o Having fun and wanting to play the game
o Tactical Plan: Scanning, receiving, dribbling, short passing, and shooting
U9 – U12: The Progression Phase

· U16 – U19: The Competition Phase
