DPSoccer Development Model
DPSoccer is a member of the Soccer Academy Alliance Canada (SAAC) whose role is to support the development of team programs by its member academies. The purpose is to allow the academies to provide the quality, professional technical training they are known for in a team environment. The role of SAAC is to administer the inter-academy programs, which includes a competitive program, friendlies and travel.
All programs are age-specific, meaning different elements will be stressed at different times in the player's development. At the younger ages, the focus is on developing the fundamental skills and techniques required to become elite soccer players. As the players grow and develop, the emphasis moves more and more towards game play and tactics, preparing the players for a future beyond the academy programs, either at the collegiate or professional level.
When players are chosen for the full-time program, they will be placed at the level appropriate for their age, physiological development and skill. As they progress through the Academy, they will be continually evaluated and given feedback in order to focus on their individual areas for development.
