About The program

Our Development Academy Program  is the advanced skill acquisition program for our players. Players aged 11–15 years improve their soccer skill and techniques through our academy specialized training sessions.

 

Description

At this stage, we assess the player’s skill levels a month before each season starts. We recruit players looking to improve their existing soccer skills and those who are interested in joining our competitive team or wanting to advance on their team. It focuses on player progression, skill and technique improvement with emphasis on Peace Arch FC Soccer Academy game strategies and tactics.

At this stage, players are eager to learn new skills and techniques and are willing to share new ideas with teammate and coaching staff. It gives our coaches the opportunity to focus on helping players continue to develop their skills, techniques, and game intelligence through:

More ball manipulation and game based practice sessions to encourage and develop young players at this age group.
Encouraging players to be creative thinkers and improve their ball retention and attacking mentality during 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 7v7 game format either to keep possession of the ball in the above situation to develop their confidence or make a play with their supporting teammate.
Encourage young player creativity and independent decision making on and off the ball.
Emphasis on improving speed and agility are part of physical qualities that can be developed at this age.
Encourage players to try new skills without fear of failure.
Emphasis on freedom of expression – free play to develop as a young player in building the skills of the game.

Backed by research from top European clubs, we teach fundamental ball-mastery skills to every player. This means that every player has a ball at their feet for the majority of our sessions. This allows them to maximize their time mastering their dribbling, technique and ball control. These skills form the foundation of a player’s development.

Certainly! Here in our academy we are open to boys and girls of all ages and ability levels. The more the merrier. For our pre-academy program, boys and girls train together, in other programs separately

Normally, soccer academies start with as young as 6 years old. However, it depends. Several parents believe that the best age to join an academy is 13. You can always become a professional player regardless of what people tell you. For the youngest football players in our academy there is a special Pre-Academy program.
