Charlotte Soccer Academy Pre-ECNL teams will consist of our top teams in U 13 age group. 

The training environment created for each of these teams "mirrors" the training program for the ECNL Teams in the U 14-U 18 age groups.   The practices are designed to develop the players for the ECNL level through the course of 12 months. While these sessions are designed to prepare players for the national level at the older age groups, each of these sessions are "age appropiate" for the female soccer player. The CSA Staff wants to ensure the lowest possible level of "soccer burnout" with our young female players.

Sessions are designed to develop each players techique/comfort level with the soccer ball, functional/posistional understanding in the 11v11 game, tactical awareness of the field and all psychological aspects of the game.

Session Outlines are below:

Technical Group Session: Sessions will focus on a technical topic, focusing on the technique and application in small sided games (5v5)

Functional Group/Team Session: Sessions will focus on functional roles of the positions played within the parameters of their team.

Team Tactical Session: Sessions will focus on the tactical application of techniques within their team format.
