The Elite Soccer DEVELOPMENTAL Program

Get a FIRST HAND TASTE! Talented players age 6-10 registered into the development program will get a first hand taste of what ESD 11-month Academy Soccer is all about.

The goal of the developmental program is to develop creative and technically sound players. Children who enrol in any of our developmental or skill training programs will accelerate their technical and tactical skills which will reveal their hidden potential quicker and maximize their future soccer opportunities.

We want all our students to have fun and develop a love for the game so at training and games the ESD Coaching Team will allow our students to be creative and not punish them for making mistakes. Players graduating from the development program will have the discipline and confidence to take their game to the next level.

Through the structured training process, the ESD qualified Coaching Team will work on all of the ingredients that make up the complete soccer player. These include technical and tactical ability, physical conditioning and psychological training. Our goal is to build athletes who have high self-esteem and confidence in all aspects of life. The Developmental & Skills Training Programs are conducted in a positive manner with encouraging and constructive feedback. Our programs are structured to accept all levels of playing ability.

Our ESD Coaching Team will teach the fundamentals of the game in a professional setting with the objective of preparing theses young players for the high demands of an advanced academy program.
