JSC PEGASUS

A unique soccer development program, JSC Pegasus provides young soccer players a fun and challenging environment in which to improve their control and confidence with the ball.


THE PURPOSE

Children develop proper techniques and skills much easier at an earlier age. The Pegasus Program gives players the necessary technical base to grow in the game through correct instruction of the fundamentals.


WHO IT IS FOR

The program is open to all recreational soccer players currently in the U9 and U10 age groups. In addition, JSC staff members may invite U8 boys and girls they feel would benefit from playing with older players.

Boys and girls looking to participate in the JUSC Select Program in the future will benefit tremendously from these sessions.


COACHING

JSC Pegasus sessions will be organized and directed by members of the club’s professional coaching staff. Each staff member brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience, along with an ability to effectively communicate with children in a positive and enthusiastic manner.

Through a series of individual exercises and small-sided games, coaches will instruct players in: dribbling, ball control, passing, and shooting. Sessions will focus on improving each player’s technique and confidence with the ball in these areas of the game.


PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Players develop at different rates. Therefore, multiple training groups will be created to place players in situations where they will simultaneously be challenged and have success.

By doing this we aim to achieve our goals of:

1) Creating an environment for advanced players within this age range which is accelerating and challenging.

2) Give all players an opportunity to develop improved skill with the ball and the confidence to take these skills and apply them in a game-setting with their current teams.


SCHEDULE

Pegasus sessions will be held:

Mondays- April 14, 21, 28; May 5, 12, 19

REC PLUS

U9 and U10 Boys and Girls participating on a JSC Recreational team are automatically enrolled in this program that provides one training session per week under the guidance of the club’s professional staff. In addition, Rec Plus offers weekly small-sided games for players to showcase their skill and talent.

Rec Plus Starts April 8th and April 10th

Sessions run Tuesdays or Thursdays from 6:00pm - 7:20pm at the Johnston Soccer Complex North Fields #3 and #4.

Why REC PLUS

• To provide a better program and a more enjoyable overall experience. The REC-PLUS program is based around LOTS OF FUN and learning technique and skills.
• To provide additional support for affected parent coaches. Parent coaches can use the weekly “REC-PLUS” sessions to gain ideas for their practice that week or for the future.
• To develop a Club mentor program for the benefit of older and younger players. It will be great for our U9 and U10 kids to see effective older players teach them new skills.

How REC PLUS works

• All U9 and U10 teams will select either Tuesday or Thursday as their REC PLUS practice session. An individual player may opt to attend either session if they cannot attend their team’s selected REC-PLUS practice session.
• Each team’s parent coach will organize 6 to 8 team practices per season in addition to REC PLUS for the team that they have been appointed to coach (this equates to a similar amount of sessions as most teams currently schedule).
Game scheduling and team grouping are not altered in any way.
• JSC Director of Coaching will devise a suitable curriculum and program for the benefit of all players. This will be available to coaches and parents upon request.
• REC PLUS sessions will be led by JSC pro coaches and assisted by other part time staff coaches and senior youth competitive players.

JUNIOR ACADEMY

Children’s early experiences of a sport are vital in creating an enjoyment and lifelong love. For most children this enjoyment is realized when they have the ball. Designed for children U5-U8, Jr. Academy sessions maximize the number of touches each player gets on the ball through a series of fun activities and small-sided games. Players are provided large amounts of
encouragement and entertainment by JSC staff members.

Whether your child has just started playing or they have been involved in recreational soccer for a number of years, the Jr. Academy provides a great foundation for young players to grow in the game.
