Philosophy
Junior Player Development (JPD) is a unique program for Boys and Girls U8-U10. The program philosophy is one of playing to learn the game of soccer, while minimizing the intense pressure to win. This philosophy transcends every training session and match. The coaching staff is specially selected and trained to provide this introduction to select soccer in an environment conducive to learning and having fun!
Challenging training sessions conducted by the staff are the key ingredient in the personal development of the players. Training activities are devised to help each player improve technically (skills), tactically (decision-making), physically (fitness) and psychologically (mental toughness). The JPD program focuses on the complete development of each player, utilizing guided discovery teaching methods, and then challenging each player to creatively solve problems that only the game itself can provide.
