Development Program

Soccer Central developmental program focuses on the development of the individual soccer player (instead of a team first approach).

To train with NY Soccer Central, players are required to participate in Essential Progressive Training (EPT).

Essential Progressive Training  (EPT)

During our EPT sessions players are given the opportunity to work on various essential skills that all soccer players should attempt to master. In a typical session players will go through a series of stations where they will have the opportunity to work with a soccer Ball on

  • Foot Skills
  • Passing/Receiving
  • Shooting
  • Movement Literacy (athleticism)
  • Small sided games

Depending on the players age and developmental needs, we will also use part of the training session to introduce offensive and defensive skills.

During our training sessions, Soccer Central uses Drills that maximize repetition and touches on the ball. Plus, our coaches will most likely stop a drill for a teaching opportunity.

It is this combination of drills that Soccer Central feels will ultimately help a player reach their individual developmental goals.

Games

Soccer Central can provide players who are training consistently in our program the opportunity to play in games. Game opportunities will be based on a players ‘readiness’ and roster opportunities.
