  2. FOCUS DEVELOP PLAYERS - FULFILL DREAMS AHFSH Academy Jr. Program Mission: Foster a player centered environment. To create a positive atmosphere for the player to be free to experiment with new techniques, learn from outcomes, and more importantly have fun doing it. These programs are age and skill appropriate and are founded on the principles of the game, safety, learning and enjoyment. A coach once said “As coaches we have the abundance of knowledge and the opportunity to educate and inspire all players”

  3. AHFSH PHILOSOPHY: • Create a fun, safe, learning and development environment focused on confidence with and without the ball by training the mind for an educated soccer decision, made with confidence under game related pressure. Maximize player participation with structured and progressive learning. Develop positive attitudes in everything we do on and off the field. Appreciate and acknowledge all participants and volunteers and foster the soccer family as an enjoyable environment for everyone. Train to the principles of the game and train with focus on the components of the game. Train teams on Penetration, possession, and patience with the ball. • Continual player development that maximizes individual athletic potential and focuses on technical aspects of soccer • Opportunities to continually refine and exhibit soccer skills in a competitive environment • Increased development of the individual as an athlete, good citizen and future role model through the teaching of life lessons, and the importance of dedication, self-discipline, honesty and respect to all while of course having fun • Experience a standard of excellence • Be open and Honest • Recognize and appreciate • Do more with less (small club) • Drive change on Development (education) players & parents • Have pride & passion

  4. Program Goals To emphasize player development over team development and focus on the technical development of each child without the pressures of short-term wins/losses/results.    To develop ball skill and decision making in the game. To create a fun and dynamic atmosphere for players.     To help educate parents on how to understand the sport and their role as a support of their child’s development.  To prepare younger players for the eventual transition into competitive select soccer.   To offer a program that will follow recommendations and guidelines from US Youth Soccer and the United States Soccer Federation for small-sided play. To help reduce travel and lower the expense for younger players and their families.

  5. Season Plans: • We will have friends playing together as much as possible until the reach the U10 age group moving forward to U11s. • We will provide age appropriate participation and doing what is best for each player based on their natural instincts and development needs • We don’t have a roster based league, but to allow maximum playing time for each player, we need to as much as possible only have 10 players on each team on game day. We have the flexibility to adjust teams and have the “player pass” option when needed. This freedom allows us to move players from team to team for each game as we see the need and when we have players missing for a game. 

  6. US SOCCER GUIDELINES Coaches should have the age appropriate license issued by U.S. Soccer The training-to-game ratio should be 2-3 training sessions per game played Rosters should include no more than 12 players Players should participate in no more than 20 games per calendar year and up to two games per day , playing no more than 100 minutes Every player should play a minimum of 50% of the time in each game 7v7 Player Development Philosophy Results and standings should not be recorded Players should have a minimum of 2 rest days per week during the season along with planned breaks from organized soccer during the calendar year Any travel should be limited to no more than an hour away Events (tournaments, showcases, festivals, etc.) should provide a predetermined number of games with no advancement, placement games or champions

  7. US Soccer. Player Development Initiatives Why are these changes being made? The current landscape is inconsistent and not as successful as it could be when it comes to player development. Through these initiatives, U.S. Soccer aims to develop players with more individual skill, intelligence, creativity and confidence. These changes also provide a consistent approach across the country while challenging the status quo of our soccer landscape by focusing on the development of the individual versus the success of a team. Parents can also have a better understanding of exactly what they should expect from a soccer program for their children. Are these changes aligned with the U.S. Soccer Development Academy? Yes. These initiatives align the entire youth player development environment with the proven approach and success of the Development Academy program. Clubs, coaches and parents who are in programs external to the Development Academy are encouraged to incorporate these philosophies of player development. These initiatives fully support the existing technical framework of the Development Academy, which serves as the model for development across the country.

  8. SAN ANTONIO - PLAYER DEVELOPMENTAL FRIENDLIES (SA- PDF) in line with US Soccer Policies and Procedures Building/Restriction line • Is designed to encourage players to play out of the back and helps them with their decision making process by giving them more time to manage possession of the ball. No Punting the ball • Players develop better ball manipulation and have the opportunity to develop tactical characteristics by having the ball at their feet instead of the ball often being in the air. Scoring & Game Management • Results, standings, nor scores will be kept as players will naturally compete. We prioritize player development over results. Coach Responsibilities • Foster a player centered environment. The coach should create a positive atmosphere so the player is free to experiment with new techniques, learn from outcomes, and more importantly have fun. Heading Rule • If a player heads the ball outside the penalty area, a drop ball shall be awarded at the spot the ball was headed at and if it is inside the penalty area, a drop ball is awarded on the restriction/build out line.
