Technical Training Program – Commitment to Excellence
The Weston FC Program is implementing structural modifications to its training platform. Our player development process will emphasize high order technical proficiency, efficient execution and creativity. We are confident that these improvements will demonstrate our commitment to achieving the highest level of competitiveness by delivering the most comprehensive soccer training experience in South Florida. The Weston FC Girls Program training platform, beginning with our upcoming season, will be modelled after the U.S. Soccer Federation Developmental Academy training framework.
We are proud and very excited that our club was chosen to join the United States Soccer Federation Developmental Academy for the upcoming year – one of only seventy-nine soccer clubs in the United States. This honor is a testament to the uncompromising dedication and focus that our technical staff has delivered in developing players with both the technical proficiency and character to compete at the very highest level. Our professional staff will now be dedicating this same measure of attention and focus to our Girls Program – we are absolutely committed to having our players “ready to go” when the Federation expands the Academy Program to include girls.
There you have the mission – the following are just some of the improvements we are making to build on our rich WFC tradition and realize the vision:
-New coaching line-up: We have assembled the most accomplished technical coaching staff in South Florida.
-New training regimen: In addition to our regular practice schedule we are adding a mandatory third night specifically dedicated to technical training and physical fitness. The training component will be conducted by our Technical Coordinators (see coaching staff).
-New Position–specific Training Program (optional): Carlos Parra, our Director of Coaching, will personally be conducting weekly sessions designed to help our players understand and execute techniques that are unique to their position.
-New Cross-training Program: We will be conducting joint sessions with our highly regarded Boys program so that our players may test their execution under high pressure playing conditions.
-New Player Evaluation Program: Our players will be evaluated three times during the season. Each evaluation will include a “prescription for improvement” – recommended drills to address areas identified for improvement.
-New U.S. Soccer Federation Developmental Academy Director Training Sessions: Marcello Neveleff, our Academy Director, will be conducting training sessions for our players to demonstrate the techniques and strategies being emphasized and encouraged by the United States Soccer Federation.
-Professional Fitness Training: We have engaged Ultimate Sports Institute (USI) - Weston, FL to provide our players with speed, stability and strength training with an emphasis on performance enhancement and injury prevention.
These improvements are designed to build on the rich tradition of WFC excellence. We are committing all of our resources to deliver the most comprehensive and enriching soccer training experience available in South Florida. WE ARE GOING TO COMPETE AND IT’S GOING TO BE FUN...LET’S GET IT DONE!!!
