| Developmental Soccer U9-10 programs --> Overview Spring Summer Fall Winter |
| Overview The Developmental Program is designed to meet the needs of players who are too young to participate in the Classic division of soccer. Players at the U9-U10 age level can participate in OSA programs throughout the year including practices and small-sided games. The program is run by coaches who have designed lesson plans to develop each player's soccer skills in a friendly, fun and professional environment. Team caoches will teach the various components of the game and encourage players to train and compete at a higher level in order to prepare them for classic soccer. OSA believes that this system of teaching soccer fundamentals will promote young players to have a better appreciation for the game of soccer. Technical and tactical skill development and small sided games will be used to develop the player who has the desire to go beyond the basic skills. Activities will grow from simple to more complex as the sessions progress. The focus of the training will be on the individual player. This includes helping the individual player ecome more confident and comfortable on the ball and in high pressure situations. Focus will also be placed on the fundamental techniques of soccer including dribbling, receiving, passing and ball striking, which are the building blocks of the game for all youth player development. OSA is confident that the Player Development Program will assist all U10 players to further develop their soccer skills, enabling them to be prepared and to become strong contributors to their U11 team.
