3. The way we used to build teams AbiLIty Level

4. Here is what we want to see The way we used to build teams • The top team is doing fine. But… • We have not created a competitive 2nd or 3rd team. • There is little chance going forward for players on 2nd-4th teams of ever reaching the top team. • The 2nd-4th teams are not as competitive as we would like. • The top team is still doing fine. But… • We now have a very competitive C2 team. • Many team 2 players will challenge for top team spots. • The 3rd team is now potentially a competitive C2 team • There is an achievable path through small steps from the 4th team all the way to the top team. AbiLIty Level

5. So how do we get there? • By U12 the teams are positioned in the way we want to reach our U13 goal. • We want to work U9-U11 to have a top team already in C1 or good enough to earn Classic 1 at U13 • We also want to provide opportunities and good coaching at the C2/3 level at this age group as well.

6. So how do we get there? • U11 offers C1-C3 levels of play. • As we will be strong at this age we look to give players the freedom to learn how to play beyond the individual. Focusing on things like consistent playing out of trouble and multiple player attacks that will allow us to be stronger in the future • This will develop higher competition for the fielding of a C1 or C1 challenging team at U12. • Through increased age group competition the second U12 team should be a strong or at least a competitive C2 team. • From the lower teams, we will develop sufficient players for a strong C3 or competitive C2 team.

7. So how do we get there? • U9 and U10 teams mirror our U11 goal. • Two top teams and two lower teams at U11 sets up for teams at all three levels (C1/C2/C3) at U12 • U9 and U10 team formation will start us down this road.

16. MYSA Competitive Playing Days/Nights

17. Playing Time Playing time in the competitive program is earned, not guaranteed. If a player attends practices and demonstrates a high work rate, then that player is entitled to play. If a player cannot make practice it is THIER responsibility to let the coach know. CC United coaches do not look to develop a strong line up to win games. They will strive to develop the team, and the committed players within, to be as competitive as possible We will strive to win, not to win at all costs

19. Very important The focus of a U9 and 10 coach is not to win all of their games. The focus is to get players comfortable with passing the ball in all directions and in all areas of the field

20. Very important The focus of a U11 and 12 coach is not simply to win all of their games. The focus is to be competitive by creating a wide range of attacking play utilizing the clubs formation and to understand the concept of team defending
