The Seniors program will involve players being exposed to a significantly high level of soccer through the course of their seasons. Matches will be highly competitive, skillful, and physical, and, thus, our staff will do our best to replicate those conditions in training. Players should expect to be challenged throughout both training and matches and parents will be crucial in understanding the competitiveness of the program.
A crucial piece of this process will be for coaches and parents to allow learning to take place. While these are advanced players, they are still learning new ideas and being forced to respond to new situations on the field in matches and training. Allowing players to be in uncomfortable situations will force growth and it is our duty to allow players to experience such growth.
Players participating in the Seniors program should be aware of the commitment expected from them by the club and their individual teams. Attendance at training is not optional. Players are expected to take part in all training sessions to allow for individual and team development. While we understand players are involved in a variety of activities, we expect that by joining a WYSA team they are committed to being a part of all activities of the team.
