ADVANCE DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY PROGRAM (ADAP 7U-8U)

"The Crossover to Travel Soccer"

• What We Teach: The ADAP focuses on building individual technical skills including passing & receiving, 1v1 moves, shooting & finishing, speed, agility, & coordination through age-appropriate small-sided games in a fun, learning environment. The objective of the ADAP is to prepare players for the next level: FC Dulles’s Academy Travel Program

• Why ADAP? ADAP is for the advanced player seeking a higher level of training and competition more than recreation soccer can provide. An ADAP player loves the game of soccer and is passionate and committed to learning and improving to become a better player.

• ADAP Training & Game Schedule- Fall (Sept.-early Nov.); Spring (Apr.-early Jun.): Train 2x/week (1hr./session) at a field local to Chantilly; 1 game/weekend (typically Saturday mornings) in-house or, if possible, competiton with neighboring clubs. The club may also choose to play in an end-of-the-season festival (extra cost of approx. $40/player/festival) typically in mid-Nov.and mid-June. Winter: Train 1x/wk- 7 sessions indoors (1hr. each).

Coaches are selected for the ADAP based on their ability to teach, ability to nurture advanced players, and their ability to instill a love and passion for the game of soccer.

• Evaluations: ADAP coaches conduct evaluations to identify ADAP players in June for the following seasonal year.
