Courage Development Program (CDP)

The Courage Development Program (CDP) is a 9 month program that provides our youngest players an environment that promotes problem solving, authentic learning, skill development, and social skills. CDP is the ideal transitional program between the Recreational Program and our Select Program. CDP sessions will offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum that will create a fun, challenging, and competitive environment. Players will train in small groups, with new teammates and coaches each week, to help their development on and off the soccer field. All training sessions and games will be coached by the Courage professional staff. The U7/U8 CDP is intended for those players (and parents) who are willing to make a stronger commitment to prioritizing development in all aspects of youth soccer.

• U7 CDP will be formed with players born in 2017/2018.
• U8 CDP will be formed with players born in 2016.
