U9 – U12 SANTOS ACADEMY

ROSWELL SOCCER CLUB ACADEMY INFORMATION

ROSWELL, 2014 - 2015

The Academy Program is the Select Developmental Program for boys’ and girls’ teams from U9 through U12.
Academy Program objectives:
• To eliminate keeping scores and reduce pressure on players and coaches to get results.
• To emphasize individual player development and especially individual technical development. 
 

Academy Program Benefits:
• Free player movement between teams within the academy program.
• Growing a ‘CLUB’ concept with a club loyalty as opposed to individual team mentality.
• Professional coaches manage all training and games.
• Increased pool of players for older teams with improvement in quality of players.
• A good introduction to ‘Select’ competitive soccer for players transitioning from recreational to select soccer.

Typically the Academy Age groups are comprised of 2-3 teams’ worth of players (16–24 players for U9 & U10; 27-36 players for U11 & U12).  All the players will be practicing at the same fields and times each week.  The players will be split into separate teams for the games and some practices.  U9 & U10 teams play 6v6 and U11 & U12 teams play 8v8.  All Training Sessions and Games will be conducted by a paid professional youth soccer coaching staff.
