The PDP program is designed to promote fun and skill within the game of soccer. The program takes place two nights a week, with each session designed to elevate each child’s skill level and enthusiasm for the game!
Session 1: Skill Development with ART Soccer
The players will rotate through a number of stations working on various soccer skills (including dribbling, shooting, passing, offensive/defensive skills, etc.). Individual skills are emphasized during these sessions, with emphasis on technical skills and movement of the ball(player working with their own individual soccer ball) time as possible! This will allow the students to develop their own skills, while performing different tasks at a number of different stations.
Sessions 2: Game Day with ART Soccer
During this session the players will be divided into teams (usually 4-5 player per team) according to their age and will scrimmage throughout the session. Each individual game will last approximately 10 minutes. The game will stay continuous, with coaches working to keep the soccer ball in the field of play at all times. This type of game play will hopefully foster an enjoyment of playing soccer freely!
