TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Here at Royal York FC, we subscribe to a player development
model, executed through 4 basic programs: Development Training, Elite Training,
Competitive Team Program and Recreational League Play. Our Development Training
is for younger players from the age of 3, and aims to build a foundation for
their future success. From the age of 10, players can either move into a
Competitive stream, or a Recreational stream for league play. And as players
grow and mature, we continue to support them with our Elite Training. 

Tiny Tots - Ages 3 & 4: Building Blocks

This program aims to instill a love of soccer at an early
age. Our coaches get kids comfortable with the soccer ball in a safe and fun
environment. The focus is on the individual and therefore, there are no team
tactics. The sessions are designed to develop basic directional movement
skills, running and kicking. The objective is to build confidence in the player
by receiving positive recognition.

Mini Soccer - Ages 5 to 7: FUNdamentals

Players participate in stimulating
practice sessions that develop basic technical skills in a FUN atmosphere.
 The emphasis is on movement exercises and inter-squad games that promote
a feel for the ball while teaching basic principles of play within a fun but
structured setting.

Junior Soccer - Ages 8 & 9: Learning To Train

This stage introduces players to
disciplined training and begins to develop their understanding of principles of
play alongside their skills practice. We work to develop technical proficiency,
but creating fun and challenging environment is paramount to stimulate learning
and promote a love of the game.  Game formats within the practice sessions
range from 6v6 to 8v8. No league standings are kept – the emphasis is still on
FUN and building confidence on the ball. 

Non-League Futsal: Technical Play

Technique improves with more touches on
the ball. This session is designed to improve the technical ability of youth
players within a Futsal setting. We encourage all youth players to be more
composed on the ball and to want the ball. This platform allows players to use
technique, creativity, invention and game understanding to help develop
themselves into better players. "Tackle hard" or "you need to be
more aggressive" have no place in this session - we are developing foot
skills and decision-making abilities.   

Futsal League

The
emphasis is on improvisation,creativity, skill and technique rather than
physicality.  You won't hear "boot it", "get rid of
it" or "get stuck in".  Play the beautiful game in a
beautiful, sporting enjoyable way.  Experienced and skilled soccer players
can join us once a week for a fit and fun environment - lets see your
"A" game!  

Pick-Up Soccer

Here at Royal York FC there's always a
game on. Come by and play soccer without the added pressures of trying to win
the league, fear of losing or fear of making a mistake.  In the fun soccer
enthusiast environment you won't hear raised voices from your teammates or
coaches.  Bring the enjoyment back into your game - simply go on the pitch
and play.  Get as many touches on the ball without fear of messing up.
 Join us each Friday for an action-packed 90 minutes in our fun soccer
environment.  Meet, mingle, play and enjoy the beautiful game.
