Sierra Gold Soccer Club encourages our Select Teams (and if time slots are available, Recreational Teams) to participate in the EDYSL Academy.

 

The EDYSL Academy was established in 2006 to provide additional player and coach development, with the objective of increasing the level of play in the Select Program.

 

The EDYSL Academy is operated by Phil Albury's company Global Soccer Solutions.

 

Player Development Program Benefits:

• Staff of Global Soccer Solutions will assist coaches with the designing of practice sessions and with executing those practice sessions by attending one practice each week, commencing the first week of June and concluding the last week of October.

• Each team to be able to send a maximum of 2 goal keepers to attend the Goal Keeping Academy

• A staff member will attend a minimum of 4 home games during regular league play (subject to logistics)

• Individual player evaluations at the end of the season

• Team evaluation at the end of the season

• Complimentary training for all teams participating in the District Cup or Association Cup (subject to logistics and weather)

Coach Development Program Benefits:

• Provide written feedback of teams' performance to include match analysis

• Provide coaches with copies of all session plans delivered

• Provide coaches and players with pre, half time and post match input.

• Increase the coaches' knowledge of the game by identifying problems being presented during the game

Fee:

The fee is $300 per player on the team for weekly participation.  There is also an optional 5 day camp available.  We feel the value the program provides is well worth the cost.  Therefore, in an effort to make this affordable to everyone the league and the clubs will be working hard to create fund raisers to off-set these cost.
