Potomac U17 Elite Red

Coach: Brian Wall: bpwall3@yahoo.com: 443-373-3994

2011-12 Season Plan (Tentative)

Brief Description

This team will be comprised of competitive club soccer players who are committed to improving their overall skills while competing in an organized, professional and structured playing environment fostered by Coach Brian Wall and other PSA Coaching Staff members. This team will have a chance to be coached by multiple highly qualified coaches which can be of great benefit to a developing young player.  This team will also have the opportunity to train with the PAP program at the U16 and U18 levels. Throughout the year, The PSA Academy staff will provide opportunities for players to develop their skills further while participating in training sessions with the Academy teams.  By providing this opportunity these players will become better all around players and enable them to be the best they can be.  The basic practice plan would be a commitment of practice twice a week. In addition throughout the season we plan to play in 3-4 elite local tournaments (East Coast), the NCSL and informal scrimmages. If we feel that the NCSL is not the best option for this team then we would play in 5 or 6 elite tournaments (East Coast).  Lastly we hope to participate in the MSYSA State Cup Tournament. View below for more details.
