The Burlingame Soccer Club’s Academy Skills Training Program is a program designed to help promote soccer development for the players between the ages of 4-10 who are looking to improve their soccer development or are looking to participate within the associated programs. This training will be a supplement to any existing program and will focus on extensive work on psycho-motor skills, coordination, endurance, involuntary muscle movement, flexibility, technical training, and individual tactics. This will be integrated into program depending on age and level of team as a mandatory component of the training. These areas are then broken down into categories. Depending on the players age, these areas are trained more or less - for instance a U9 – 10 player will focus on developing psychomotor skills (most often with the ball), technique and individual tactics. Our professional coaches, with broad soccer experience in developing youth players, will apply training curriculum that is based on our modified AC Fiorentina youth training methodology. Our goal is to develop a passion for the game at and early age and provide a fun and creative environment for players to learn and enjoy this beautiful game. The training will focus on the following main topical elements:

Technical Skill
Psychomotor Skills
Coordination
Athletic Ability

It is open to all players, including BSC and non-Burlingame Soccer players. The sessions will be broken into age and skill appropriate development focus followed by small-sided games. Skills Training will be available during the WINTER, SPRING and FALL.

BSC/NPSA Junior Academy Teams

An extension of the training program from the Pre-Juniors Program for those players that were not selected for the Select Teams, that hope to make the Select Teams, or that are just looking to improve their skills to improve their AYSO experience. AYSO Select Team Players can also continue to participate in this program both during and after their Select season. This program will look to reinforce technical skills and individual tactical skills.
