Description
The Brit-Am Soccer Player Development League includes Practices and Match Days. Players have 3 options:

What & Who is the Match Day Experience for?
Dribblers (Age 4 and 8 months-5)- Spring Only
Kickers (Grades K & 1st)
Ballers (Grades 2nd & 3rd)

Our Player Development League (PDL) allows players to compete in friendly matches against groups and teams from other local schools in their area. Teams will be coordinated and set up by school, gender and grade. Results are not posted or scores tracked.

Brit-Am Coaches referee the match ups and use active in-game coaching to guide & teach the players the rules of the ‘real game’. Technical training (skills) will be taught during practices but not during the Match Day experience. Our goal is to create an environment that is fun, educational, and challenging while also preparing players for Classic or Travel League action as they grow.

Match Day Format: Our PDL Dribblers, Kickers & Ballers program offers soccer education at its best in a positive, fun environment where players improve their skill during continuous play. The 4 v 4 format (no goalies) or 5 v 5 (with goalies) accelerates the development of attacking and defending concepts by encouraging dribbling, turning, stealing the ball and scoring goals along with a basic introduction to goalkeeping. This format provides a simple picture for players to learn the game and allows for players to gain experience through realistic, game-like situations.

Our professional staff takes the necessary steps to ensure each game fits the players’ needs, ultimately leading to better game intelligence and understanding.
