2014 Winter Soccer (Indoor)
The indoor skills sessions at Philadelphia Sports Club (PSC) have very limited registration this winter. PSC is located in Chalfont near the intersection of County Line and Upper State Roads (look for the BIG water tower!).
Please call 215-822-1951 if you want to guarantee a place for your child in the sessions that begin in January.
Details in brief:
There are two 6 week sessions (Saturday mornings) of indoor skill training at PSC as shown below. Each session concludes with small sided games.
Winter Session 1: Jan 4th - Feb 8th
Winter Session 2: Feb 15 - March 22
9am - ages 4-5
10am - ages 6-7
Private/Small Group Soccer Training & Travel Team Training
Session for individuals, small groups and teams are available this winter a venue must be provided.
First of all it's never a bad thing for players to continue touching the ball during the 'off season' it helps to keep players enthused and engaged and can allow an effective transition into spring soccer. Add to that it is often easier to teach skills in an indoor setting away from the weather and environmental factors. For example developing the skill of receiving the ball on a nice flat indoor surface as opposed to a rutted bumpy field.
The other 'indoor soccer decision' is should your team / child participate in a league or a skills development program. Since both have their benefits an ideal indoor / winter program should include the opportunity for both.
As always with youth players keep it fun if they enjoy it they come back for more!
