Where leaders are born				Where team players are developed
Division I soccer is for the serious soccer player who has the passion, desire and commitment for not only themselves but for their team. The season is typically longer with training 3 times a week, more tournaments and outside activities. Playing time can be decided on commitment, attendance and playing performance. Winning is also an important factor especially as the players get older.				Division III soccer is for the player who wants to play at a higher level than the Rec Program but does not want to be as fully committed as a division I player.
Focus Points: • Commitment & passion • Preparation both mentally and physically • Team player • Advanced training and tactical skill				Focus Points: • Positive adventure • Good attitude and willingness to work • Technical and tactical development

GK Training Camps

Goal Keeper training camps are designed for all levels of keeper and age groups. Sessions are planned based on the age and level of player and include aspects from basicpositioning, the “W” hand position, to recovery positions and shot stopping.

A typical session may include:

8:30am	Warm up – including basic handling skills
8:50am	Working in 2’s, begin the day’s topic. Taking high balls from crosses, basic technique
9:20am	Advance topic – taking balls from actual crosses, communication and taking balls at highest point.
9:40am	Distribution once GK has claimed the ball from the cross
9:50am	Add defenders and attackers to make game realistic
10:00am	Crossing and distribution game
10:20am	Fun shooting game
10:30am	End of session

Try Outs

Try outs can be fun but they can also be hard work and frustrating especially if you do not have a structure in place. 24-7 can help plan and run your try outs from registration to player selection.

Coach Education

Coach Education has to be one of the most important topics within youth soccer. We all confess to be great coaches, however good coaches are alwayslooking to improve their knowledge and “steal” ideas from others.
Remember a coach’s mind is like a parachute – it works best when it is open.

It is very difficult to set up specific coach education sessions. We therefore build these to fit the age of player and level of coach and more importantly the requirements of the club.

Coach Interview & Selection

Selecting coaches is not always easy, sometimes there are not enough, but at times too many. How do you decide? An interview evaluation sheet helps start to evaluate coaches strengths and weaknesses before a formal interview with questions to help conclude as to who is the best suited coach for the position. The interview can also include getting coaches to design a session either on paper or a board as well as where appropriate a field session that can be evaluated. The process can be tailored to suit your requirements and the structure ensures that all candidates are treated equally and allows all parties concerned to come to a more detailed and realistic conclusion.
