Youth Training
BSU prides itself on its' expertise with youth players. We believe that an emphasis on basic techniques such as passing, dribbling, and shooting is what will develop strong future players. Learning proper techniques at a young age will stop bad playing habits before they begin.
Players 6 - 8 years old
Soccer training for 6 to 8 year olds establishes the basic practice of a long- term training program. The objective of training for this age group is to create a solid foundation for taking things to the next level!
Players 8 - 10 years old
These years are referred to as "The Golden Age of Learning". This is when children can absorb many new concepts and are able to apply what they have learned on the soccer field. Players should learn and master simple techniques through appropriate repetitions and training exercises should be fun. The players will gain a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment through applying the technical skills they learned in practice to actual game situations.
Players 10-12 years old
During these years, the players will gain in muscular strength, coordination and psychological maturity. We will focus on gaining more technical skills through specialized techniques and coordination. Players should start refining the techniques they have already learned. We will practice how to apply techniques to real match situations. The primary objective for BSU coaches at this age level is individual player development and growth. To continue building upon progress, we suggest that the serious, dedicated player be playing soccer year round at this point.
