Program Information
The NCFC Juniors Development Program (JDP) is a supplemental training option for U7(2012)-U8(2011) players. JDP is staffed by Juniors directors and coaches who will provide age appropriate instruction with a strong emphasis on technical development. JDP will help bridge the gap between recreational soccer and competitive soccer, and grow each player’s love for the game. Participants are encouraged to play recreational soccer and participate in JDP to fulfill their desire to train and play more.
Eligible Players
Players must satisfy both requirements in order to register for JDP:
1. Born in 2011 or 2012
