Shakopee Soccer Association

Player development guidelines have been established and adapted from the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA) and the United States Soccer Federation (U.S.S.F.).  

 

The purposes of these guidelines are to provide coaches with:

 

-A long-term plan for player development for youth players U5-U19

-A baseline of expectations at each age group for coaches to organize their training around

-A club-wide plan that addresses player development in a stage by stage basis

 

It is important to note that each player and team is different. Players develop at different rates and times. Before the below guidelines are applied, first the individual player and team must be evaluated to determine a starting spot.
