Blaine Soccer Club

True player development focuses on the development of the player, not the development of the team! Up to age 12, this should be the only criteria used in designing and running youth soccer programs."

Ron Quinn, US Youth Soccer

Program Description: A program for U9/U10 (birthdates 8/01/05 - 7/31/07) players who wish to commit more time to soccer training on a year round basis. The program is pool based rather than team based with the main focus on individual player development. The players will be together August 2015 through July 2016 with 8 weeks of rest time scheduled.

Program Emphasis:  Player Development through increased number of training sessions each week on a year round basis. Weekend games and festivals, no overload on tournament play, more focus on individual player development.  The goal of the program is to develop a large pool of quality players in these younger age-groups which will in turn produce highly competitive teams in the older age-groups.

Training/Game ratio: Approx. 3 training sessions to every game played over the course of the program

No Try-Outs: Player Evaluation will be over the course of the year rather than one night. The MYSA Academy program allows for roster changes for all games and festivals so there is a lot of flexibility.

Commitment Fee: $100 commitment fee per player. . Deadline to register is July 1st 2015. Please note -  a waiting list is now in operation (also a $100 commitment fee)

Coaches: Head Coaches will be supported year round by club trainers and the Academy Director(s).

MYSA Academy Clubs: Blaine, Blackhawks, Kelix, Prior Lake, Sporting St Croix, Valley United, Woodbury

Commitment – This is a year round soccer program with an all-inclusive cost so we expect players to make every effort to attend as many scheduled events as possible. Multi-Sport athletes are also welcome and encouraged to participate as BSC understands the value of young athletes playing different sports.
