CAROLINA CORE FC YOUTH

After assessments, your player will receive an invitation to join the Junior Academy program, or we will recommend a developmentally appropriate alternative.

Our Junior Academy Training System is designed to maximize the opportunity for each player to develop and succeed at the appropriate level. To help facilitate individual growth, our coaching staff uses aspects of both pool training and team-building. This enables our coaches the freedom to move players and structure teams to ensure each player is placed in the right learning environment.  We follow the Play-Practice-Play model put in place by US Soccer. Players are moved to different positions & everyone will be rotated to goalkeeper. Playing time is guaranteed and is kept fairly even.

• Make sure players are ready and a good fit to join the Junior Academy.
• Allow our staff to plan for the year based on number of players and developmental goals.
• Rate players and help create initial teams
• Create an exciting environment where our coaches get to work with the returning Junior Academy players and new interested players.

Initial teams are created over the summer or the first few weeks of the fall season. Teams are created to provide the best environment for every player in the program. Teams are gender specific. Our staff looks at age, ability, coach ability, along with a number of other factors in determining teams.

From the initial creation of teams, players can be moved from team to team. Our staff regularly discusses what changes need to be made in order to create the best environment. Our goal is focused on the development of players, & we will do our best to put players in the best spot for their development. Remember, you are signing up for the Junior Academy program, NOT a specific team.

• Our goal is focused on the development of players and doing our best to put players in the best spot for their development:
  • Players at this age develop at very different rates (a player who trains/plays all summer will develop much faster than a player who does not).
• If we create teams for the entire year at assessments, we are taking away development opportunities over the summer and season for players to grow.
