U.S. Soccer Curriculum: 

The YTS program will follow the new curriculum set forth by U.S. Soccer. The training sessions will involve 1v1 and 2v1 attacking and defending situations as this is important to develop individual skill as well as the passing technique to develop the necessary team game.

Real Competitive Soccer:

• Apply basic attacking principles 
• Further coordinated movements at speed
