AWSC implemented a new and enhanced team structure and Player Development Pathway. This new team structure and player pathway provides the premier youth and adult soccer experience for Central Arkansas, and allows for players to progress from recreation levels all the way up through AWSC competitive teams and beyond…
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Wolves PDA is to model the developmental paths of successful clubs around the world, and that of US Soccer by creating additional training and match opportunities for players at other clubs, in 2-year age group increments.
AWSC recognizes the importance of creating additional opportunities by placing players in an environment that will allow players of like ability to train together and be coached by the very best in the Central Arkansas area. AWSC opportunities will be in addition to the traditional schedule provided by individual teams at other clubs.
Each AWSC team will invite players that have been selected and identified based on their evaluation and asked to participate in 2-3 pre-determined training sessions throughout the coming month with the specific coaches assigned to that team. Each team will have at least two coaches per training session and will follow a strict curriculum of development for these players.
Players who are selected for the training pool that month are expected to attend each session and perform at a certain level on and off the field and in the classroom. In addition to the AWSC training, the club will be setting up several high level competitions throughout the course of the season and match days with various US Developmental Academies.
