Academy System

(U9-U13)

Fusion Soccer Club’s new academy training methodology is used for boys and girls in the U9-U13 age groups. The academy develops a “player pool” instead of the old and antiquated team system. The ‘player pool’ method has been an outstanding success world wide in developing exciting, skillful players who expand their enhanced love of the game.

Each age group will practice in gender specific groups where a high standard of training consistency is ensured to maximize superior technical skill development. Our coaching philosophy is to teach players through a methodical succession and guided discovery progression to enhance learning and present them with the many challenges that the sport provides so that they have a better understanding of the game, instead of throwing all the answers at them and expecting them to remember them.

We encourage all players to play without any fear of making mistakes and to express themselves positively on the soccer field. The main reason behind the strong technical development of individual players in these age groups is that there is so much emphasis on creating winning teams, that the players’ technical skills have never adequately developed to be able to carry out the tactics needed to play at the next level. After all, there are no tactics without technical competency. It is the individual ball skills, self creativity and understanding of the game that will form exciting soccer players who can play at the next level.

Training is managed by the Head Coach of the age group with the collaboration of the Assistant Coaches. Players and teams then play at their level of ability to ensure the development in practice can be utilized in a game situation. We understand confidence is vital and built through successfully achieving your goals at practice and being able to demonstrate them in a game environment.

Club system

(U14-U18)

Club training methodology is used for boys and girls in the U14-U18 age groups. The training approach continues to focus on the technical development and refinement, but now includes a higher percentage of tactical components and the different phases and functions of play. Training occurs at the age group level, as well as individual team level. This methodology provides consistent training of the club style of play, player and team tactical focus and the physical and mental demands of the game. This approach prepares players with the necessary skills and knowledge to compete at the highest level. In addition to playing the game, we strongly believe in teaching our players about the importance of teamwork, competition and strength of character.

A huge component of the Club training method is the exciting and rewarding learning environment and to reach beyond their vision of capability in order to improve not only as players, but people, teammates and students.

Club style training methodology is managed by the Head Coach of the age group with the collaboration of the Assistant Coaches. The individual team training sessions are managed by the Head Coach of each team.
