Program Philosophy

A fun-filled, high energy program designed to improve a player’s agility, balance, and coordination, as well as introduce them to soccer. This program is based on the WOSC Player Development 4 Life (PD4L) vision, Long Term Player Development (LTPD) guidelines, and True Sport principles. The PD4L vision focuses on developing the player with a holistic approach by creating short and long term goals. LTPD is a framework that provides a baseline to ensure programs are player-centered and coach driven with content focused on the training stage of the player. True Sport is a series of programs and initiatives designed to give people, communities, and organizations the means by which to leverage the many benefits of sport from a platform of shared values and principles.
