Development Academy U7 - U10
WARRIORS FC is excited to offer the U7-U10 Developmental Program focusing on technical training and team play. Designed for the younger player (usually those in 1st-4th grades), the WARRIORS FC Developmental Program is an introduction to more advanced, competitive-level soccer.
The WARRIORS FC Developmental Program is run by professional coaches who design lesson plans to develop each player's soccer skills in a friendly, fun and professional environment. Each team’s coach will teach the various components of the game and encourage players to train and compete at a higher level in order to prepare them for classic soccer. WARRIORS FC believes that this system of teaching soccer fundamentals will promote young players to have a better appreciation for the game of soccer.
Technical and tactical skill development and small sided games will be used to develop the player who has the desire to go beyond the basic skills. Activities will grow from simple to more complex as the session’s progress. The focus of the training will be on the individual player. This includes helping the individual player become more confident and comfortable on the ball and in high pressure situations. Focus will also be placed on the fundamental techniques of soccer including dribbling, receiving, passing and ball striking, which are the building blocks of the game for all youth player development.
WARRIORS FC is confident that the Player Development Program will assist all U7-10 players to further develop their soccer skills, enabling them to be prepared and to become strong contributors to their competitive teams once they reach the U11 select age level.
