Player Development Academy
Mission Statement: To create a fun and exciting environment that will motivate players to develop their technical ability and passion for soccer.
To strive to develop our youngest players to ensure a strong foundation for their future in soccer and life.
Philosophy: Our PDA program will focus on player development. we evaluate player development in four categories.
-
Technique (skill)
-
Insight (tactics)
-
Personality
-
Athleticism
We feel technique and athleticism are the most important areas to develop young competitive soccer players. This allows a player to create a strong foundation for the rest of their soccer career.
In order to achieve our goals of overall player development we will measure our success on player and team improvement, not solely on winning. While we desire and strive for successful results we will not do so at the expense of team and player development.
We believe Academy style training is the best way for our U8-U10 players to become successful in soccer. Players will meet two days a week and the PDA staff will run training in a camp style format. This environment creates uniform instruction and great energy.
Staff: The PDA staff is full of soccer energy and knowledge. The Academy is the future of soccer for Southside SC. Some of our top coaches are coaching in our PDA program.
