National Platform soccer for our boys and girls is now here
National Platforms for our boys and girls
INTRODUCTION
Players in our competitive program (Elite, Select and Competitive) are supported by a full time Program Director.
With a clear focus on developing an individuals technical and tactical abilities, each player should have a solid technical base, which will in turn allow our professional and experienced coaching staff to focus on more advanced training as we help the players understand more about tactics, systems of play and decision making.
More emphasis is placed on earning positive results, as players learn about competing and preparing for our National Platforms as well as the college environment.
