NSSA FUTURES (U8)
PREP YOUR PLAYER FOR COMPETITIVE SOCCER
BIRTH YEAR: 2018
The NSSA Futures Academy equips seven and eight year olds with the skills, technique, and knowledge needed to thrive as a competitive soccer player. Our staff takes the player development process seriously; our approach is not arbitrary. Each activity in our training sessions is thoroughly prepared by professional staff and coaches. To encourage individual player growth within the team concept, we employ a guided discovery teaching style. The program consists of three seasons — each season has 1 training session and one weekly 5v5 game played against other NSSA Future's teams & other local soccer clubs.
This program will enable your child to:
> Gain confidence with the ball
> Improve passing, dribbling, striking technique
> Develop creativity as a player
> Tactical development within the game
