PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

The Eastern Pike Youth Soccer Club is committed to developing a series of Player Development programs that are guided by our philosophy that focuses on the development of our players, and not the short-term goal of winning a game or medal.

EPYSC's goal is to develop better players by providing support structures and programs for teams, coaches, and parents to implement this player-centric programming at every level of the game.

We are implementing age-appropriate training curriculum at all levels to ensure the best development of our young players. By understanding the correct areas of focus at each stage of a player’s development, parents and coaches can work together to ensure that our players’ education is being correctly facilitated.
