The Club’s training program is designed for the youth athlete who enjoys Soccer and is interested in playing at the most competitive level. The program is specifically designed for those athletes who are considering making Soccer their primary sport.

FC Star practice schedules will vary according to the age group, season schedules and upcoming events (i.e. Tournaments etc.). Practice sessions usually last 90 minutes. The times and days of your team's practice will be set by the Director of Coaching and Field Maintenance Coordinator. Players are expected to make training sessions a priority over other sporting interests unless prior arrangements have been made with the Head Coach, Director of Coaching. Generally, team training sessions will incorporate both individual technique and team tactics based upon the age group.


Important Training Session Tips:

• It is imperative to come to practice sessions regularly. You cannot miss training sessions or practice poorly and expect to improve. If you have a problem attending a practice, give your coach a call, in advance, if possible.
• Pay attention to the coaches in practice.
• Do not distract others at practice (e.g., conversing with teammates while attempting a drill is distracting to others)
• Practice at game speed (learning to do a skill in slow motion will not help in a game)
• Bring water or sports drinks to replace lost fluids during the training session.
• Every player should bring a fully inflated ball to each training session.
• Shin guards are mandatory at all training sessions.

Without regular and proper practice, soccer skills and tactics cannot be mastered. It is impossible to expect that players master their skills only during their prescribed training sessions. Therefore, it is imperative that players set aside time at home to work on their individual technique and conditioning.  We demand a tremendous time commitment from the FC Star coaches, and we expect our players to be willing to make the same commitment.
