Summer Skill Development Sessions
This 7 week program is designed to provide players with an opportunity to keep their skills up throughout the summer in a fun and engaging way. In accordance with the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, sessions will focus on age-specific movements and skills to help players build confidence and improve their
ability to think and play the game. The first hour of the sessions is skills-based and then players will have the opportunity to apply those skills in game-play situations for the last 30 minutes.
* Players can choose to attend one or multiple sessions.

Pre-Tryout Competitive Sessions
These five intensive sessions are designed to prepare players for their upcoming competitive tryouts. Sessions are carefully planned to balance the need to build and refine individual skills but also to encourage players to be a positive contributor in a team setting. Players will be immersed in a variety of competitive situations that will help equip them for the challenges of trying to make a team. Coaches will help players understand what they look for in tryout situations. Players will leave the sessions with some tangible feedback and advice as they head into tryout season in September.
