Each soccer game involves myriad of decisions, technical and physical challenges in an ever-changing environment, among and against other players of varying abilities, and in different stages of physical exhaustion. More than any other team sport, the game takes on the characteristics of those playing it, and requires development in all of the areas above: mental, physical, technical and social.

Kids develop at different rates in all of these areas. Both the game and the players themselves are complex. To help them fully develop their potential as players, we must allow them to unlock in numerous stages the many aspects of the game.

So after getting to know the player in all these aspects , I will develop an age specific session plan based on 1. Technical 2. Tactical 3. Physical 4. Psychosocial. I implement many components of the US Soccer Curriculum.
