About our Academies and Camps
YSYSL Academies and Camps give children in our community the opportunity to be
involved in a sport, provide them with the best possible learning
environment, and teach teamwork and sportsmanship. YSYSL makes soccer
fun and creates a lifelong passion for the game in young players, as
well as creates a pathway to U8-U19 competitive club soccer. We
believe the Academy/Camp Program is the best option for young players
because it parallels with the U.S. Soccer training program which
emphasizes player development over winning.
Our
age-appropriate curriculum focuses on individual technical
development, building confidence in young soccer players, improving
cognitive development, and increasing imagination, by allowing
players to learn the game gradually in a fun, exciting, and
competitive environment.
We
believe every player benefits from playing in every game.
We
are committed to providing a positive, respectful environment.
Our
focus is on the continued growth and development of participants to
their desired potential.
We
believe soccer can help build self-esteem, create lasting
relationships, and teach life lessons.
We
know we can achieve our goals only through the combined efforts of
our parents and players.
Coaching Staff will instruct using basic soccer fundamentals to academy
participants. We will introduce disguised learning in a variety of
games and activities that will provide players many touches on the
ball while maintaining a fun soccer experience.
