Vermont Premier Soccer will launch a wide range of soccer products and services including camps, clinics, coach education and club programs to Towns, Recreation Departments and clubs throughout Vermont. The full time coaching staff from VPS will work with, complement and enhance the soccer experiences of players in Vermont.

VPS will also institute a vertically integrated player development model that caters for development from the age of 4 - 18 years. Commencing in 2012, players will enter an integrated system from an early age with a clear development pathway, working with our professionally licensed coaches and an age appropriate curriculum. This will lead to an improved player development system and the appropriate development environment for these players.

 “As well as a unique club system, methodology and support network, VPS will offer camp and clinic programs, bringing experienced coaches into local communities to work with players of all ages,” said VPS Director of Operations Iain Manson.  “As per our mission, VPS will strive to produce players who can compete at the highest level of soccer competition throughout the world.”

The School of Excellence (SOE) Program was launched by GPS founding organization Massachusetts Premier Soccer (MPS) and currently has over 1100 players enrolled in the system in MA.  The SOE program is geared towards dedicated and talented individuals who are looking for advanced soccer training with similarly talented peers and is unique in terms of full-time licensed professional coaches conducting a club wide structured curriculum.  The SOE program was designed to supplement, as opposed to replacing, local club and recreational programs. The success of the MPS SOE program has been highlighted by producing two national team/pool players in recent years. VPS will be implementing a similar program in 2012.

VPS Director of Soccer Paul Baber reaffirmed “We are excited about our new franchise and we look forward to having an impact on the player development environment in Vermont.  We will be active through the spring meeting with various soccer programs and will launch programming in the summer.”
