The Performance Academy Enrollment and Placement
Players ages 7-15 will be grouped in 3 different Level Programs; Developmental, Advanced and Elite. Parents may register players for the appropriate level based on prior Coerver experience. A Coerver Staff Coach will recommend changes as necessary in session 1 to ensure players are not over challenged or under challenged as success breeds confidence.
-Developmental Academy - is open to competitive players as well as players aspiring to be more competitive players. Players will focus on learning the basic moves along with all soccer technical skills. 1v1 moves will be learned to beat an opponent, keep possession, and to create space and time to pass, run or shoot. Finishing skills will be incorporated and emphasized.
-Advanced Academy - This will be open for players who have participated in a Coerver program in the past and are recommended for the Advanced Level by a Coerver Staff. It is also available for ODP level players, including premier club players who possess the technical qualities to be able to function at the Advanced level. The integration of speed, strength, and conditioning training with the advanced Coerver movements creates a transformation in the basic movement of the player. Players will learn how to combine the many moves from 1V1, into combination play in 2v2, 3v3 and larger activities. Progressions are included to increase both mental and physical speed of play. The group play activities will incorporate defense, fast break attack and combination play.
-Elite Player Program (EPP) - when offered, this program will only be open to players who have been part of the Coerver Advanced Academy and are recommended by Coerver Staff from camps or other programs.
