Competitive Program
The foundation of the ASC Competitive Program is the coach driven, player centered, educational approach for total player development. Whether your aspiration is to play professionally, earn a college scholarship, be selected for the Olympic Development Program (ODP), or to be a successful club player, our competitive program will help you reach your full potential and achieve personal goals. The curriculum is detail oriented and incorporates the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological elements of the game. Our goal is to produce skilled, motivated, athletic players who will thrive in the competitive cauldron. It will balance individual technical training with functional applications to team tactics.
Competitive soccer is for those players whose desire and passion for the game make them want to develop their soccer ability to the highest level they can attain. To play competitive soccer you must participate in a tryout process.
