FCSC Academy Program is designed for motivated U7/U8 players, interested in improving there soccer skills and possible transition into our FCSC travel program at U9. The Academy training offers the players a unique opportunity to play with other talented players of similar ability trained by our FCSC Staff Coaches, with a low player to coach ratio. The program is designed to be proactive in the development of committed players and influence their individual playing qualities. The majority of the training session will be working on improving flair and technical abilities (control dribbling passing shooting ) of the individual player. Each session also spends time on small sided tactics and repetitions such as 1v1, 1v2, and 2v2.
FCSC Skill Development Program is designed for all players U5 through U12 at all skill levels. Our goal is for the players to have fun with the ball and inspire their passion to play! The program focuses on technical skill development (control passing shooting dribbling) using proper technique through individual and small-sided games. Players will be placed in groups according their technical abilities. The session will end with small sided games in an age appropriate environment.
