The following guidelines have been established by the Sacramento United coaching staff to help our coaches focus on training and activities that we think will best provide for the individual development of our young soccer players. The guidelines are based on the experience of the authors and the CYSA Olympic Development Program recommended training progression. These are only guidelines and are not intended to dictate to coaches what they must teach or how to teach it. We hope you will integrate the suggestions here with your personal coaching style, technique and ideas, and that as a result, all of our teams will be better for it.
