LPSC Soccer Programs

Player Development Philosophy:
Our goal is for our players and families to have an enjoyable experience that will serve them for a lifetime. We will never lose sight of our responsibility to provide an environment where every player has a equal chance to develop in training sessions(practice). The development will always come through training since we have roughly 70 practices per year and only 30 or less games per year. Players will be chosen to play in games by their performance and attendance in training (i.e. listening skills, competitive ability and skill performance). All players will be allowed a chance to play in matches but all players will not play the same amount during each match per the coach and his or her choice.
 

Methods of Development

The Liberty Point Soccer Club Coaching staff will focus on three methods to deliver player development. A description of each method is offered in the table below:

# Method Description

1 Inspire 
  • Players need to develop a motivation and desire to work hard during training sessions and during their own time away from structured sessions. By having college players work with the players we create immediate mentoring structure.
  • Every player - coach interaction serves as an opportunity to develop a passion and love for the game at practices, games and college competitions.

2 Experienced Coaching
  • In order for a player’s ability to improve, they require accurate and concise information, combined with specific and immediate examples of that skill are required.
  • An adaptive coaching style is used to ensure that every player is developed during the training session; the objective is to create players who are independent thinkers.

3 Repetitive Training
  • Repetition and deliberate practice is the key to learning. To master new skills players need to receive a high frequency of realistic situations that offer maximum ball contact.
  • Players must be challenged to work at a high intensity that replicates a game environment.
