Pathway to Excellence
The Development Program at Alba FC is intended to act as a bridge/pathway to our competitive program. The emphasis in this program is on creating technically proficient players that have an understanding of small sided tactics by the time they move forward into the competitive program.
The use of various small sided games to teach various aspects of the game are heavily used. Ball mastery, 1 v 1 attacking & defending, running with the ball, back to pressure and numbers up and numbers down activities are just a few examples of the topics we cover in our curriculum.
U11 - U14
Expands on topics from the U7-U10 age group and begins to introduce more advanced technical passing concepts as well as more advanced decision making activities. Still uses small sided activities but begins to challenge the players to work in 3’s and 4’s instead of just pairs. Trains once per week at Ferry Point Park or Lehman HS.
U7 - U10
Focuses primarily on the player and technical proficiency in ball mastery, gross motor movements and playing in pairs. Developing talented young soccer players, using fun small sided games and activities to facilitate a dynamic learning environment. Trains once per week at Ferry Point Park or Lehman HS.
