Legion FC Academy Goals

• Create a Player Centric Environment
• Create imaginative players vs. “robots”
• Focus of curriculum on development of the player vs. development of the team
• Competitive and fun
• Players will train in 2 age group player pools- U10 and U12. Games will be played with appropriate level kids to ensure proper competitiveness.

What is Pool Training?

• Pool training occurs when players train with like talent within their age groups, not a specific team.
• Players train within this pool with teammates of like skill and athleticism. These groups can change throughout the season, although mass changes are unlikely
• Players will train at same time and do same activities, but different groups within the player pool will continue to train together at their pace.
• Creates Upward Mobility
• By grouping the kids into pools, ability-based grouping within an age group takes place, therefore narrowing the developmental gap
• The fluid movement of players between levels within a pool for training sessions and matches allows the coaching staff to individualize player development.
