The overall objective the "Youth Technical Skills & Team Training" Diploma is to guide coaches who are in U8-U13 environments (essentially players who are starting travel or IM soccer until high school age). This Diploma will put an emphasis on technical training and the skills/foundation needed to develop individual players at a young age into their high school years. In addition, we will focus on how to create effective and efficient practice/training sessions that will bring out core team principles needed for team and individual success and development. It is important to note we do not define success as winning games in the youth environment, instead success for youth players is proper development and developing a love for the game that will carry them into their high school years (and potentially beyond). This course will be held via Zoom on Thursday, June 26th, from 6-9 pm. It will be instructed by Micah Collins - for more info on him, feel free to visit "Our Team" page above or scroll below. The course will consist of the scheduled Zoom session, then an additional on-field portion will be available and discussed during the Zoom. There is no cost to register for the course, and a Zoom link will be sent to you within 2 days of our start date. A Certificate of Attendance will be given after attending both the classroom and on-field portions of the course. A Diploma will be awarded to coaches who complete and pass a post-course on-field coaching test. A Diploma is required to become a Player Project coach. For any questions regarding the course reach out to Micah Collins - micah@playerproject.org or 484-361-4361 (call/text)

Testimonials
My son (u12) has been working with Coach Micah for the last 7+ months in individual sessions. The variety of drills that are tailored exactly to what my son needs to work on showcase Coach Micah's detailed and organized session planning. The techniques he's shown my son have been incorporated into his games and have produced great results. We definitely recommend!
Regarding Individuals
“I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to take GK 1 and 2. I learned so much and I plan on using the techniques and tools given to me to better help my players. It was so great to get to meet you and see some old friends this weekend. I greatly appreciate the opportunity.”
My preteen daughter's experience with the Player Project has been wonderful. The small group and one-on-one training have helped with her soccer skills, footwork and endurance, as well as her confidence. Coach Bristol and Coach Jake are professional, skilled, and fun - I highly recommend this for any kid who wants or needs some extra coaching.
