LOSC Juniors Program
LOSC Juniors Program
Our Juniors program, for players in the U9 and U8 age groups (born in 2017, 2018 and 2019), is a program we are extremely proud of and a place we believe also helps prepare players for the next step into our strong Classics program. Juniors is a place for young players to fall in love and find a passion for soccer. Our first priority is always to create a safe and fun environment to help young players develop.
Juniors Methodology
While we strive for excellence within all our programs, winning will never surpass the need for development. Winning will simply be a by-product of our development. All of our coaches believe in this philosophy and strive to put development before winning. Our coaches teach technical skills that will allow players to keep possession of the ball. We believe this is this basis for creating well rounded soccer players long term.
Tryout Process
We do not have a try-out day, however we follow a process for our U8 and U9 teams, we do offer players a “training period” where they will get evaluated by our staff. We evaluate the player’s ability, how they interact with others and how well they receive information from our coaches. If we feel a player is not at the level to play in the program, we will give an evaluation and explain what areas need development.
