Overview

The Youth Development Program or ’YDP’ program caters towards the clubs most competitive, passionate and committed players. YDP offers a high standard of coaching delivered by our experienced staff who provide the players with a rounded soccer education. We not only coach the players, but immerse them in soccer culture.

YDP players train in Savannah and will be coached by the club’s licensed staff coaches. The training and coaching staff will be overseen by the YDP Director. A variety of training methods will be encorporated into every team’s curriculum to ensure a well rounded learning experience. YDP teams U8 - U12 will play in the Greater Savannah Soccer League or ’GSSL’ for the Spring 2010 season. This league is based locally and and will provide our players with consistently competitive matches. Game venues will include Savannah, Hinesville, Effingham and Statesboro. 1 hours is the most any YDP team will travel for a league game and even then this would be only on occasion. YDP teams will also take part in at least 2 tournaments and friendly games, but these are decided in advance and are usually no more than 2 hours away.
