Narragansett United – U11
Program
- The
Narragansett United soccer program will begin in early December and continue
until mid June. Players will train and compete regularly with age appropriate
activities designed to 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 athlete and
member of a team becomes more important. The U11 Developmental team is the
beginning phase of the soccer player’s experience outside of the traditional
fall season. The program is designed to give players and their parents an
understanding of what year round soccer can offer as it progresses from the
youth player to the adolescent player.
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
-
Players will train once per week for one hour.
-
Training topics will focus on continuing to develop the 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 using a 4v4 format with attention to team shape,
attacking decisions of the player with a ball at their feet, attacking
decisions of the player in support of the ball, as well as the decisions for
the player defending the ball and defending of the covering player.
- Age
appropriate attention to systems of play will be discussed as it applies to
8v8 competition.
Competition
-

local teams for one hour.
