Academy presents a terrific opportunity for any gifted male or female youth player wishing to take their game to the highest level. TRAINING FOCUS
The coaching staff will be spending the majority of the training session working on improving the flair and technical abilities (control, passing, shooting, dribbling) of the individual player. They will also spend a lot of time on small sided tactics and repetitions such as 1v1, 1v2, 2v2, 2v3, 3v3 activities dealing with the attacking and defensive aspects of the game of soccer. Occasionally, former players who have graduated from the PWSI Youth Academy Program will often participate in sessions to positively increase the pressure and demands of the younger players forcing them to deal with older competition.
