Rationale:

The GIS wants to be proactive in the development of committed players and influence their individual playing qualities.

Procedure:

• Program will be held in the South, Central, West and Northern parts of the state.

• Training will be held, once a week, during the months of September, October and November, on a pre-determined date, at a designated location, in each of the four districts.

• First,Players will be asked to attend an Academy Identification Day, during the event, in each of   the Districts. Every effort will be made to keep as many players as possible
• However, we are beholding to the availability and size of the facility and as well as the staff. Thus, some initial selecting may occur.

Staff:

The coaching staff will be people of the highest quality. The staff is selected with integrity, soccer ability, age appropriate coaching skills and communication skills in mind. The staff will be selected by the GIS Technical Staff in conjunction with the District Head Coach.

Training Focus:

The staff will be spending the majority of the training session working on improving the flair and technical abilities (control, passing, shooting, dribbling) of the individual player. They will also spend a lot of time on small sided tactics and repetitions such as 1v1, 1v2, 2v2, 2v3, etc. The focus is on training the detail of the soccer player so they are able to master the ball.
