GISC Player Development Strategies:

This article (Player Development) is required reading for anyone involved with Grand Island Soccer Club, especially Coaches & Assistant Coaches:

  • PLEASE READ IN DETAIL.
  • READ IT TWICE.
  • READ IT IN A FEW MONTHS.
  • READ IT AFTER YOUR FIRST GAME.

From BWNY soccer, it explains player development in a nutshell and summarizes several of the initiatives made by GISC these past few years: the redesign of our U7 program, the street soccer program, U9 player 'pooling', player development initiative, the foot skills clinics and the new Grand Island Year Round Academy for our U6 to U10 kids. I bolded several key points from the article. This article is everything that will be drilled into you at a “D” license course if you decide to pursue. I encourage you all to pass this to anyone that is involved with Grand Island soccer club. Please share with your assistant coaches for sure.

  

Thanks! Mike Rudney, Travel Coordinator
