OVERVIEW
At the 15-19U levels, the primary focus is on advanced skill development, tactical understanding, and preparation for higher levels of play, such as college and in professional leagues.
- Players at this age are expected to advance both their techniques and tactical understanding of the game. Training continues to emphasize improving the speed and accuracy of skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting. This includes position-specific training to further develop technical abilities relevant to individual roles.
- Players continue to learn and apply more complex tactical concepts like understanding game structure, positioning, movement off the ball, and adapting to different game situations. This is also the stage where players should have a solid foundation in understanding principles like defensive positioning, attacking strategies, and transitions between offense and defense. Small-sided games are valuable in applying these concepts under pressure.
- There will also be emphasis to the physical development and conditioning side where players enhance their speed, agility, and endurance, which are often incorporated into attacking drills.
- Goalkeeping continues to be a specialized position, requiring dedicated training with a qualified goalkeeper trainer in addition to practicing as a field player.
- Success at this level of play could mean continued play at elite levels.
PROGRAM SPECIFICS
EPSC coaches are licensed staff members who follow a play-train-play-train model and teams will participate in the ECNL-RL, NPL-Prem or Twin Cities Soccer Leagues (TCSL) Regional leagues. The ECNL-RL and NPL-Prem leagues are year-round leagues that start in September (13U-14U) and November (15U-19U).
- The 15U-19U red team programs are designed for players wanting to compete at the highest level within the state of Minnesota and do require a higher level of commitment than our second and third teams.
- 11v11 Games (10 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper)
- Emphasis is placed on developing both the individual technical skills and the tactical understanding needed to succeed in competitive environments and potentially progress to elite levels of play.
