Philosophy

DTH places a tremendous amount of value in the idea of Player Development. Each team has a training plan that fosters these ideas in conjunction with the age and level of the player. These ideas are brought to life through fun, yet challenging, training sessions in a safe environment.

 

 

Sessions

Each team (U13-U19) receives two individual training sessions per week. This means that the coach to player ratio is about 15:1 depending on how many players are on the team.

 

Each team (U11-U12) receives two sessions per week. In some cases, these are individual team sessions and in some cases these are combined with another team of similar age and ability. U11 and U12 teams play 8v8, so team numbers rarely exceed 11 players. Additonal numbers at training allow for more dynamic sessions. Fewer numbers at training allow for more touches on the ball.

 

POOL SESSIONS | DTH offers Pool Sessions bi-weekly for U11-U14 players. These sessions typically bring together all players from a given age group and gender.

 

ADDITIONAL SESSIONS | It should be noted that DTH encourages players to play as much soccer as they desire. Therefor, with a staff coach's permission, players may attend as many sessions per week as desired.
