coaches,

please forward to your parents

parents,

this friday 9/21, the boys are back on for the free professional coaching by santa clara competitive coaches. 

here is a comment from the coach about the 1st boys session.

"Got lots of compliments after the session, and the main thing they said was it isn't enough time :-) I gave them some tips for working with their children till the next session. Parents commented that they really liked it and know of other 'really good players' that they would tell to come next time."

if you have a child that is playing u5-u8 in scysl, we are offering free training on fridays from 5-6:30pm at curtis field for players who
think that they will want to play competitive soccer when they are u9 (or u8 spring).  this training will be provided by coaches who coach competitive teams in santa clara sporting as well as other clubs.  this training will be more intensive and instructive than a normal recreational training.  the players will be expected to pay attention and concentrate on soccer.  in these practices, they will be competing against other top players in practice, so they will improve their skills by being defended by other top players.  this will improve both players and invite friendly competition among those at the session.   

i have heard from a number of parents whose kids aren't playing soccer anymore that the reason they stopped playing was that
they would enter the game and score a few goals, then the coach would hold them back and tell them they couldn't score anymore.  they got bored with the game because they were so much better than their competition.  this is exactly why these players need to be challenged by other top players.  i have also heard from parents whose santa clara children are playing competitive soccer in other leagues that they didn't know that we had competitive teams in santa clara, so they went elsewhere.

if you aren't sure if you want your child to play competitive soccer in the future, this is a great way to get a free look at the coach, at the session, at how your child stacks up, at how your child reacts to this type of competition, etc.  if is is not a good experience for your child, then you don't need to come back, and you will not have that doubt in your mind wondering if he/she should play competitive soccer in the future.
 
here is how the program director alex saunders describes these sessions - The SCYSL Pre- Comp Program is designed for players looking for advancedtraining and an opportunity to experience a competitive environment. Players will go through structured and dynamic drills that will test a players technical skills with the ball. They will focus on training the key skills of dribbling, passing, shooting, control, and skills as an individual and then in a small team environment. This is a great opportunity for players looking to get an experience or prepare to play on a competitive team next season or the one after.

the schedule will be as follows - boys 9/7, 9/21, 10/5, 10/19, 11/2.    girls 9/14, 9/28, 10/12, 10/26, 11/9.  all sessions are at curtis field from 5-6:30pm.  the players will be separated by age, size, and skill level to ensure a good training session for all.

look for the guys in the red scysl coaches shirts.
