COE
As players mature, they are more accustomed and more able to deal with the rigors of selective programming. The COE program by its very nature is highly selective. Only players showing the most promise from COE Tryouts will be invited to join this comprehensive player development program, that also includes GK specific training. At ages 10-18, our focus shifts toward high intensity sessions, with many small sided exercises, designed to improve understanding and promote a higher soccer IQ. The intensity and drive of play within each session forces players out of their comfort zones and into a superior development environment.
Development Overview
