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

o   Having fun and learning the skills of the game

o   Tactical Plan: Scanning, receiving, dribbling, short combination play, overloads, and shooting.

       U13 – U15: The Game Phase

quick combination play, overloads, and finishing.

·       U16 – U19: The Competition Phase
