.The intent of the Coerver Elite program is for us at Coerver to take full responsibility for our players development and overall growth within soccer. This commitment will be between the coach and the players for an indefinite period. The role of the coach is to assist the players psychological, social, technical, and tactical needs, regardless of what playing environment they may be in.
Each group will consist of 12 players of identical commitment, like ability and similar age and gender. At the heart of each group will be a core group of players who the program will be built around. A group manager will be in place to help organize the specific logistics for each group with regards to what days we will practice etc. Practice days will be identified by the parents and will work around the club/school seasons. Each schedule will be tailor made to each group specifically.
The training portion will consist of 48 training sessions, each two hours long. The majority of sessions will take place in the Summer and Winter during the Club/High School Off Season.
The game viewing portion will consist of the coach attending home games throughout the season. It is impossible for the coach to be at every home game; however, they will attend as many as they can. After each game it is expected and essential for the player and the coach to analyze and support the player four approximately 20 minutes after every game. This wil be done in relation to their club/school coach as to help our players better understand their club/school coach’s desires.
In addition to the training and game viewing elements, players are also invited to attend the performance Academy and 5V5 tournament series for free. The summer performance Academy should allow for players to attend three additional training sessions a week for three hours, plus an additional hour of training on days where we are to meet. The 5V5 opportunities will be free if the elite group has enough players to enter a team into the event.
This holistic and year-round approach should allow us to support every player thoroughly through their soccer journey. Second in being a constant resource to the players, the stress and strain of tactical decisions will be reduced significantly as we will be there to alleviate any questions or concerns on a regular basis.
The program works by us initially identifying a group of players that would work well in the Coerver Elite setting. From there, we will look to identify approximately 16 players to whom we can have an initial zoom meeting to discuss the program in its fullest and answer any questions that may arise. After this we will open registration and parents will need to sign a contract, plus enter a payment plan registration process.
If a player secedes to opt out at any time, their spot will be replaced by a waitlist of players that we will build up. If a player has registered prior to the summer and has had a lot of sessions at the beginning of the program, the family will receive a final bill for the sessions they have received.
