Youth Development Academy (Winter 2012 Indoor Training Session)
Soccer Skills Training for U6-U9 Soccer Players
Registration: Click here to register for the winter session.
The goals for the Celtic Juniors program are FUN, TECHNICAL DEVEL0PMENT and SPORTSMANSHIP. FUN comes first, because when children enjoy soccer, learning takes care of itself. TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT is vital, for without basic skills, players are limited in their athletic expression and their enjoyment of soccer is reduced.
The Celtic Juniors aims to instill a solid technical base in each player. Soccer is a team sport, so it is crucial for players to absorb the basic elements of SPORTSMANSHIP: teamwork, cooperation, listening, basic work ethic, and attention to instruction. Even if a player does not continue with soccer, these elements of SPORTSMANSHIP will serve them well in school, work, and life.
Age Groups:
6 and 7 years old
8 and 9 years old
Format: Players meet once per week to work on various individual soccer skills and play small sided games
All training sessions will be conducted by Professional and Celtic coaches. The lead trainer is Leroy Campbell, who holds a National "C" license and has years of experience in coaching youth players.
