ADVANCE DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY PROGRAM (Pre-Travel U7-U8))

"The Crossover to Travel Soccer"

• What We Teach: The ADAP program utilizes the FC Dulles Curriculum to focus on building individual technical skills including passing & receiving, 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. (week following Labor day) thru early Nov.); Spring (late March/early April thru early June). Training 1 hr. sessions, 2x/week (typicially M/F from 6-7 PM). Competition- 1 game/weekend (late-Saturday afternoon 4pm or 5pm) in-house, and when possible, competition with neighboring clubs. The club may also choose to play in an end-of-the-season festival (xtra cost of approx. $40/player/festival) typically in mid-Nov. and mid-June.
