Our Player Development Program (PDP) is a supplemental training option for U9 (2016) – U19 (2006) players who are currently playing at a Recreation or Challenge level. PDP is staffed by experienced coaches who will provide age and level-appropriate instruction with a strong emphasis on technical development. PDP will help bridge the gap between recreational soccer and competitive soccer and grow each player’s love for the game.

PDP will provide training in a coed team-based environment to encourage development of individual skills, as well as using the players around them in a successful way. Participants are encouraged to play Recreational or Challenge soccer and participate in PDP to fulfill their desire to train and play more. 

Our Advanced Player Development Program (Adv PDP) is a supplemental training option for U9 (2016) – U19 (2006) players who are currently playing in our Juniors, Classic, NPL, ECNL-RL, ECNL, or Academy programs. Adv PDP is staffed by experienced coaches who will provide age and level-appropriate instruction with a strong emphasis on technical development. Adv PDP will provide training in a coed team-based environment with an emphasis on targeted feedback and instruction in a challenging learning environment.

Our Player Development Program for Recreation and Challenge is a great opportunity for players to experience a position specific training environment under the direction of NCFC Youth's Goalkeeper staff. Goalkeepers will receive a fundamental approach to improve their technical ability and learn more about the basics of the position. 

Goalkeeper Adv Player Development Program provides a supportive and fun environment for goalkeepers to push and compete with other like-minded goalkeepers. There will be opportunities to engage with current Academy Goalkeepers, former NCFC Youth goalkeepers currently playing in the college environment, and NCFC and NC Courage professional goalkeepers to share experiences and talk about how they have benefited from supplemental training and other similar environments they may have encountered.

Goalkeeper Adv Player Development Program will also be introducing weekly competitions through the duration of the program. These competitions may be individual or team based whereby all goalkeepers compete for weekly titles and program prizes.
