Stage 2 U11-U12: A greater understanding

While we continue to develop the technical skill set and psychomotor abilities,
we expand upon the individual tactics from Stage 1 correlate to the team
as a whole. In this stage, we will play in either NorCal Premier or the local
Reno league while moving towards more regional tournaments with a few
local ones. We still encourage players to play multiple sports at this stage,
but in the U12 range, we have to start looking into the overall workload of
these players as they are starting to grow.

Stage 4 U15-U18: Specialization

In our final stage of development, we look to have our players play the fall high
school season, as this is a great and different experience than club. In our winter
training sessions, spring league, and tournaments, we are looking to narrow down
the positions played to 1-2. We start to travel farther distances for better competition
and exposure to college coaches. At the U15 level, the players will attend 1-2
college showcase tournaments with another 1-2 regular tournaments. Though they
may not be recruited at these tournaments, we are getting them ready for the next
3 years when they will primarily play in those tournaments for college recruitment.
Players will have to fight for their positions on the team, so it is not recommended to
be a multisport athlete at this time. It will be hard to challenge for a spot if you miss
training and overload is a serious issue at this age physically and mentally with education.

Futbol Methodology

Within our competitive program, we have built different stages of development for
our teams to help 

Stage 1 U9-U10: The basics

We look to build the basic technical skill sets of dribbling, shooting, passing, and
receiving players need to succeed in the later stages of competitive soccer. In this
stage, we play in the local Reno league during the Fall and Spring while competing
in mostly local tournaments, maybe one or two regionally, for a fun experience
away from our local teams. We encourage players to play multiple sports as we
do not want our players to have to choose at a young age, plus playing other
sports creates well-rounded athletes.

Stage 3 U13-14: Competition

As we move into 11v11 soccer, the players will start to narrow the positions
they play to 2-3. We also look to nurture healthy competition within training
that translates to the field, as players will have to start to challenge each other
for minutes in the games. While we do not want to make players choose soccer
over another sport at this time, we want the players to be aware of their workload
with soccer and other sports during this vital stage in physical development.
Our teams will look to play at higher level regional leagues in Northern California,
which requires travel for games and higher level regional tournaments.
