Detailed information on 2011-2012 WRSA Winter Academy
The West Region Academy focuses on player-centred, long-term development and ability-based program.
• That the program caters for players at every ability level (recreational and competitive) • That the program adds value with a professional approach • Focus on developing players for long term and representative honours
The WRSRDP is open for all players from 8 - 18 years old (girls and boys) at all levels (recreational and competitive). The program will cater for:
• Players at different levels of skills and ability • Players that are at different stages of learning
With the program taking a much more professional approach and raising the standard of soccer, therefore all sessions will be staffed by highly qualified and certified coaches. All WRSA Winter Academycoaching staff subscribe to long term player development philosophy.
The plan in the near future is that every six weeks, a training match would be scheduled to allow players to integrate what they have learnt into a game situation. It will also allow the coaching staff to evaluate the players learning and development over the course of the program. The training match is an evaluation tool for both players and coaches with no pressures of winning or losing, but where continued monitoring of learning and development process are taking place. This plan is currently being developed.
For further detailed and in-depth information on the program view the Handbook.
