What are YDP practices like?
Unlike traditional recreational soccer, all YDP players in a single age group practice together. Under the direction of a Rockledge Soccer Club YDP Director and supported by the clubs professional national and state licensed training staff, age appropriate activities are offered that work towards the long term development of the players. Players will work on individual skills in large groups under the direction of a licensed trainer. Players will also rotate through training stations or be separated into small groups for multi-player small group training all under the direction of licensed trainers. Emphasis is on skill development and learning to “love the ball” all in a positive stress-free environment. And finally, every practice will provide opportunities to play the game.
