The philosophy of Soccer School of Excellence youth development program is that a child can only be fully developed when put in an environment that provides him or her with the appropriate mind-set for the game of soccer. Once a child understands the game, he or she can be challenged to achieve his or her fullest potential through a variety of exercises, drills and games that are serious FUN.
The skills that are taught are the tools necessary to be successful in any game situation. For the child to develop into a successful player he or she must be able to learn and utilize the three basic skills that are considered essential factors of the game. SPACE - How much space you need to execute your basic skills?
TIME - How much time do you need to execute your ball skills?
SUPPORT - What are you doing to assist your teammate when you. Don't have the ball? The ability to identify coaching points and make corrections technically and tactically is necessary for player development. Developing the technical skills sufficient to generate interest and confidence to continue participation in the sport and having FUN is our goal.
