PWSC ACADEMY PROGRAM
Development for future soccer success!
The PWSC Academy Program is the first stage in the youth soccer development. It is designed to give younger players better coaching, conditioning and more advanced skill work to prepare each individual player for future success in our PWSC Select Program or any higher level of soccer play. The program focuses on individual technical development and not on “Winning”.
The PWSC Academy Program and coaches strive to create a fun and exciting environment while teaching and developing the players' soccer skills.
Fall registration opens in June or July.
PWSC Academy is an accredited WYSA Youth Academy.
The purposes of the WYSA Youth Academies are:
- Provide soccer players, who aspire of becoming a more accomplished player, an avenue to test and enhance their skills.
- Provide soccer players an opportunity to train with experienced coaches.
- Provide soccer players an opportunity to investigate the level of play with which they are comfortable, how they fit in with other teams, and for which coaches they would like to play.
AGES
The PWSC Academy Program will be divided by gender, age and ability. Ages are based on birth year and not school grade. The ratio of coach to players is estimated to be at 10:1 to allow all players to receive one-on-one attention. This individual level of coaching will raise their level of play and increase their overall knowledge of the game. See the age table below:
