Two great player development opportunities!

An opportunity to receive advanced coaching right on your door step!

For Players

AYSO Irvine's Field Player Training, led by our partner English Premier Soccer Camps (EPSC), is designed to provide enhanced technical development for our AYSO Irvine players. Whether your child is playing on a team right now, is taking a break from soccer to participate in other sports, or is gearing up for more advanced play in the AYSO Extra or United Program, Skills Training will help with skill acquisition and retention to ensure players don't fall behind and can take their game to the next level. Professional coaches will take your child through individual soccer-specific techniques and with excellent trainer to player ratios will be able to develop key proficiencies for the game.

Goalkeeper Training

AYSO Irvine's Keeper Training, conducted by a professional trainer from EPSC, is designed to provide the opportunity for enhanced technical development for the serious and aspiring young goalkeepers! This section focuses on critical areas to every goalkeeper's success; technical, tactical, physical, and psychological. This unparalleled expertise is reflected in the diversity and quality of curricula offered by our highly qualified partners at EPSC.

Division Descriptions

• Since this program is not team-based, divisions are able to span a bigger range.
• The Younger group usually has players that would be in 8u to 10u.
• The Older group would have players in 12u+ divisions.
• When needed, we will further arrange the players within their assigned session to appropriate groups based on size and skill.
  
• We also schedule Younger Field training at the same time as Older Keeper Training, and Older Field Training at the same time as Younger Keeper Training. This allows players to participate in both sessions (at a discounted rate) if they wish.

 

Equipment for players

• We provide a t-shirt.
• Your child will need to bring a ball. U5 to U8 use size 3. U10 to U12 use size 4. U14 to U19 use size 5.
• Your child must have safe shoes. Soccer cleats are recommended.
• Your child must wear shin guards.
• Your child cannot play while wearing any jewelry, to include earrings, bracelets, wedding rings, necklaces, or metal clips/pins in the hair.
