Saddleback United Youth Academy
The Saddleback United Youth Academy is a comprehensive program for boys and girls ages 6 - 9 that is designed primarily for recreational players that want to improve their skills but are not ready for the intensity of club soccer.
Club level training
...without the intensity of competitive soccer. |
The goal of the program is develop fundamental soccer skills, personal character and passion for the game. The program combines three elements to provide the perfect start for soccer-loving kids regardless they are playing recreational or competitive soccer.
- Technical Training:
focus on technical skills with the ball, speed, agility, balance and overall movement.
- Character Lessons: each week will include a lesson on an important character topic that will help the child grow both as a player and as a person.
- Mini-Tournaments: every week will have “tournament day” using the innovative PureGame format. PureGame is a super fun small-sided play format that promotes soccer skills, self-direction, communication and leadership. In the PureGame format, players rotate teams after 5 minute games. Scores and standings are kept on an individual basis. During breaks, the coaches review technical and character lessons from the prior training sessions.
In January we will be holding one day per week, age-specific sessions. The sessions will start the week of January 9th and continue for four weeks, through the week of January 30th. The cost for the session is $50.
