Salmon Creek Soccer Club’s new Player Development Program has been created to give aspiring young players a means to build upon their recreational training, and introduce them to our club's advanced level coaches. We will offer a terrific opportunity for 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-year-olds to receive top class coaching from our staff, and to play alongside other kids sharing a desire to improve their already above-average skills. We will focus upon teaching the building blocks of the game in an enriching, fun, and challenging environment.

Each academy training session will be 90 minutes in duration with the first and last 15 minutes being setup and breakdown.  The sessions will be focused on technical training of the player in the following standard progression: 

• Warm up activities (low to medium intensity) > This area will get the players warmed up, stretched, and introduced to the objective of the day (example first touch of the ball)
• Match related activities (medium to high intensity) > The players will be focused on the objective training of the session in individual or small groups.  There will be many chances to stop and correct the players technique.
• Match condition activities (high intensity) > This will be the chance for the players to tryout the learned skill in a match condition.  There will be restrictions added to the activity to force the learned activity to be used.  This section of the training will take at least half of the allotted time.
• Warm down activities (low intensity) > Focus should be on the objective of the training session with focus on warming down and stretching.
