Participants in ADP benefit from a competitive and supportive environment where they can grow both individually and as part of a team. The program includes regular training sessions, skill clinics, and competitive matches against other clubs to test and refine the players’ skills.
Overall, the Advanced Development Program at Oakville Soccer Club aims to develop young soccer talents and prepare them for higher levels of competition in the future.
Program Breakdown
Give your player the opportunity to thrive in soccer by enrolling them in OSC’s Advanced Development Program. With dedicated coaches and tailored training, they’ll develop skills, deepen their understanding of the game, and gain the confidence needed to excel on and off the field.
Program Goals for Each Player
Skill Development
ADP focuses on enhancing fundamental soccer skills, such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and ball control. By starting at a young age, participants will build a solid foundation for future growth as a soccer player.
Game Understanding
ADP emphasizes not only individual skills but also helps young players develop a deeper understanding of the game. They learn basic tactics, positioning, and team play, enabling them to make effective decisions on the field and adapt to different game situations.
Confidence and Motivation
Through the program, players will experience success and improvement in their soccer abilities. Witnessing their own progress boosts confidence and fosters a positive attitude towards the game, which has a significant impact on their overall development and enjoyment of soccer.
Long-Term Player Development
This program follows the principles of Long-Term Player Development (LTPD), focusing on age-appropriate training and overall physical development. By enrolling in the program, each player will receive the necessary guidance and support to progress effectively through the various stages of player development.
Enjoyment and Engagement
OSC believes in creating a positive and enjoyable soccer experience for all of the Club’s players. Age-appropriate training sessions and a supportive environment ensure that every player stays engaged and motivated. When children genuinely enjoy their soccer experience, they are more likely to continue participating in the sport, leading to long-term involvement and potential success.
Program Structure
As an annual program with more time on the ball, ADP also comes with a required increased level of commitment. Players will practice twice per week, with a game on the weekend (age dependent). View age specific program outlines below which further explain the benefits and components for each group.
