OVERVIEW:

The training sessions will be every Wednesday from May 4th – June 22nd and will be held at Cloverdale Athletic Park.
TRAINING CURRICULUM:
Players:
The Surrey Spring Training Academy is a skill development program that allows the young players to continue to learn and test themselves in an attempt to reach all of their personal goals within the game of soccer. Training sessions will be structured around technical and tactical development and within small-sided game situations, utilizing the structure of the highly successful 3v3 program from the past along with many successes from the 2010 program. The 8-week long program follows the developmental guidelines as laid out in the Canadian Soccer Association’s Long Term Player Development Model.
