CAMINOS DEL JUGADOR
Our Alumni
Rutas del jugador
Our club accommodates and provides pathways for players at all levels of interest and ability. Our aligned and cohesive framework meets the needs of all our players. It provides a clear distinction between the development phases and the various ability and interest levels. We support smooth transitions between each stage, including increased support to players that aspire to play at the collegiate and professional levels.
Fases y programas de desarrollo
El progreso de nuestros jugadores en el club se desarrolla en cuatro fases. Cada fase presenta un enfoque diferente, ya que los jugadores experimentan de forma natural un crecimiento físico, psicosocial (Erik Erikson) y cognitivo (Jean Piaget).
Our development approach in each stage is to teach actions within the game's situational context and thus create realistic scenarios in which the players learn.
As players progress from 1v1 to 11v11, the number of available choices for each decision they have to make increases. Using Hick's Law, we ensure that players have an appropriate amount of choices for the duration of time they have in their given situation.
Plataformas de desarrollo
We have two development platforms for our players, each offering various programs that allow us to cater to every player, regardless of ability or commitment. Each platform has the same holistic approach to development, with players being able to move between them in either direction.
Programas de vida activa
Our objective is to provide players of all ages a place to play, stay active, and enjoy time with friends while learning the game. All programs aim to provide a fun and challenging environment for players. At U8, players can continue their development towards excellence and move into the Elite Development platform.
Kickstarters
(Players aged between 2½ and 4 years old)
Para nuestros jugadores más jóvenes, este es un programa recreativo introductorio que se centra en la alfabetización física con y sin pelota en un entorno social divertido y positivo.
Pre-K/Recreación
(Players aged between 5 and 19 years old)
Los jugadores se centran en desarrollar los requisitos fundamentales del juego en un ambiente continuo, positivo y divertido. Este programa es completamente interno.
Desafío
(Jugadores de entre 8 y 19 años)
A un nivel superior de nuestro programa recreativo, los jugadores tienen la oportunidad de dedicar más tiempo a su desarrollo. Este programa es interno; sin embargo, los equipos compiten en varios torneos.
Elite Development Programs
El objetivo es brindar un entorno donde los jugadores compitan y se centren en el desarrollo individual y colectivo, con una visión a largo plazo para convertirse en jugadores de élite, tanto a nivel profesional como universitario. Los jugadores poseen un mayor nivel de habilidad y un mayor compromiso con su desarrollo personal.
Juniors/Juniors Elite
(Jugadores de entre 7 y 10 años)
This is our first program that exposes our players to professional coaches. The environment is focused on developing fundamental and functional movements and soccer actions.
Classic/Elite
(Jugadores de entre 10 y 19 años)
These programs are our entry point for players that desire a more competitive league and training environment (and potentially aiming to make one of our elite programs). High school age players train and compete with their respective schools during the high school season and with our club for remaining.
Pre-Academy/ECNL/Academy
(Jugadores de entre 10 y 19 años)
These are our elite programs for our players that are the most advanced in their soccer development.
Our Academy program is the highest level available to our players. Here we focus on preparing our players to eventually graduate into the professional ranks.
Nuestro programa ECNL se encuentra justo debajo de la Academia y generalmente está compuesto por dos tipos de jugadores.
- Players that are focused on making the step to the Academy.
- Players that want to compete in their high school program. These players train and compete for their respective high school program during the school season, and then return to full-time training with our club
Construyendo faros
Develop The Person and Develop The Player
¿Por qué un faro? Los faros son un símbolo de fortaleza; son una luz que guía en la oscuridad y siempre velan por quienes los rodean. Están hechos para durar; son fuertes y resilientes. Son centrados, confiables y siempre están dispuestos a ayudar. No se quejan ni se derrumban bajo presión. Al contrario, se mantienen firmes y listos para actuar.
Al graduarse de nuestro club, los jugadores deben contar con todas las herramientas y la formación necesarias para contribuir positivamente a la sociedad y a las futuras generaciones. Son los faros de su entorno, y nos esforzamos por construirlos cada día.
To do this, we have four pillars of development that house what we believe are the required qualities and characteristics to build a lighthouse.
Social Behaviors
We are a multicultural club and must constantly create environments where players can develop the ability to self-regulate in social settings, form relationships, be accepting, and considerate to the feelings of others. Players should understand how to control their emotions and behavior and develop their ability to communicate effectively with peers and authoritative figures in various settings.
Comportamientos mentales
Nuestro objetivo principal es ayudar a cada jugador a establecer y desarrollar creencias y actitudes saludables y apropiadas hacia la vida, el deporte y el fútbol. A través del fútbol, nos centramos en desarrollar personas y jugadores con una mentalidad de crecimiento que les permita alcanzar el éxito dentro y fuera del campo.
Acciones de fútbol
Utilizando nuestros principios de juego, buscamos desarrollar la ejecución técnica del jugador y vincularla directamente con la decisión táctica requerida para la situación. Esto significa contextualizar las acciones. Cuando los jugadores entienden QUÉ hacer y POR QUÉ hacerlo, es más probable que se adapten y sean autónomos.
Movimiento | Fitness | Salud
Our aim is to develop each player to have a positive attitude toward health and wellbeing, fitness, and recovery. We focus on fundamental and functional movements in the early years to develop comprehensive physical literacy. As players grow, our focus shifts to the functional actions and the specific fitness attributes that players require to play at their age and level.
