What is the NYPS Juniors?
The NYPS Juniors is a player development program that caters for motivated young players, boys and girls, aged 8-12 yrs old. The Juniors program is geared towards dedicated and passionate individuals who are looking for advanced training and league games with similarly talented players. The Juniors program is also designed to work in conjunction with town programs, offering players an additional development avenue as opposed to a replacement one.
NYPS adopt a three path option for development in the Juniors program (explained below):
Juniors Team Squad Player: Players will practice twice a week following our specially designed curriculum. The team will be entered into league play and other tournaments throughout the year competing against teams of a similar level from NY West. Opportunities to compete against other GPS Juniors teams in friendlies and tournaments will also present themselves during the year. See Juniors Teams option on left for more information.
Juniors Team Training Only Player: This option is for the player who is looking to develop themselves further without having to commit to the full schedule. Training only players will practice once a week with the NYPS Junior squad players working on a skill’s based curriculum. See Juniors Training Only option on left for more information.
Juniors Training Programs: Skills clinics for appropriately aged players with the aim of improving player's skills in a clinic format through a choice of one day programs all the way up to 6 week programs. The program will be both fun and challenging for the players involved and will serve to ensure their enthusiasm for soccer grows along with their ability. See Juniors Training Programs option on left for more information.
What separates the NYPS Juniors from other clubs?
CHALLENGE: Players will be playing at a level which is appropriate to their developmental stage to becoming a top player. The option of being a Training Only Player allows players to opt to develop themselves skills wise and personally without the full commitment of a second team.
COACHING: All coaching is provided by the NYPS Staff of professional coaches.
CURRICULUM: Our year round curriculum is age-appropriate and provides a challenging, fun, and positive environment in which players can grow.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT: The primary focus of the program is the child and their development.
COOPERATIVE: NYPS Juniors runs in cooperation with town soccer.
COACH DEVELOPMENT: Training sessions are open to all town coaches who have players involved in the program.
PREMIER ACADEMY/ACADEMY : The structure of the program allows for all players to be placed in the most appropriate training environment relevant to their skill set. Our top level program also offers the opportunity of tournaments and travel.
