Development Team
Development team players practice alongside competition team members. This environment allows players to enhance their skills in conjunction with peers of the same age while receiving guidance from our professional coaches. Development players do not participate in league games or tournaments. The program operates on a month-to-month basis, providing flexibility for participants to start and stop at their convenience. There is no registration fee; only a monthly training fee applies.
Competition Team
The competition team operates year-round, commencing in June and concluding in May with our tryouts. Participants engage in various activities including fall and spring league matches, State Cup, play dates, and tournaments. Players are expected to commit to the entire year, though additions to the team may occur later if space allows.
Registration fees are tiered based on the time of sign-up, alongside monthly dues. These costs are all-inclusive, covering coaching, referees, field use, tournaments, and other related expenses. The only additional costs incurred by players are for uniforms and travel.
The fall season runs from late August to early December, with games predominantly scheduled for Saturdays and occasional Sunday matches. The spring season follows, beginning in early March and ending in early May.
Goalkeeping Training
Goalkeeping will be taught in phases. Each phase will contain a set of skills specific to the position and will be taught in building blocks, meaning a young goalkeeper must acquire the skills provided in a phase before going on to the next phase. There are 5 phases of training. Many young GKs will not reach level 5 their first or even their second year, but with this plan in place we have designed a program that will allow GK to develop by a continuous process.
For a GK to move on to the next phase and attend a higher level training, the GK must show their ability to perform the assigned skills in their present phase. Each GK will be given a list of skills/drills for which they must master at the start of each phase. The importance of training on their own cannot be overemphasized as these skills need to be repeated in order for the GK to learn the movements.
The purpose of this format is to allow young goalkeepers to work at their own pace. A GK that is motivated and trains on their own time could progress at a higher rate than a GK that is not, or a player who is just testing the position out.
