Soccer For All Program (U11 & U12)

NWSC’s Soccer For All Program for U11 and U12 is built around the principles of Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) and is an extension of NWSC’s Making Progress Program (u8 – U10).

The Soccer for All Program (U11 & U12) continues to focus on a positive experience learning the game in an age appropriate educational setting. By adopting the NWSC-WAY at these ages and stages of development players will prepare for the full sided game in the next phase of Soccer For All!
