Narragansett United – U13
Program
- The
Narragansett United soccer program will begin training players in early
December and continue until mid June. Players will train and compete according
to the parameters of their specific program. Training and competition will be
age appropriate with a particular focus on the player’s ability with a ball
and their decision making.
-
Narragansett United sees player development as a succession of phases with
each becoming more finite as the player’s role as an individual and member of
a team becomes more distinct. The U13 program is designed to give players an
opportunity to continue their development in a competitive environment in
addition to their traditional fall experience.
Coaching
- Coaches
will come from a number of backgrounds with the commonality of focusing on
developing a player to the best of their ability.
- All
coaches will be licensed by the United States Soccer Federation or certified
by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Training
- U13
players will train twice per week for one hour each night.
-
Training topics will continue to focus on the development of a player’s
ability with a ball.
- The
techniques of dribbling, receiving, passing, shooting and 1v1 defending will
be practiced regularly.
- Coaches
will use a variety of activities to demonstrate age appropriate application of
all learned techniques through out the year.
- Tactics
will be developed with attention to team shape, attacking principles of play
and defending principles of play.
-
Elements of playing in the different thirds of the field will begin to take on
a more definitive role in the player’s decision making as well.
-
Appropriate systems of play will be discussed as it applies to 11v11
competition.
Competition:
- During
the winter months players will compete once per week against local teams for
one hour.

bracket not having enough teams to have a single age group competition.
