SUPERSTARS SOCCER CLUB TEAM PROGRAMS
The Superstars Soccer Club (SSSC) Competitive program is designed for boys and girls U-13 – U-19 to learn how to play 11 v 11 and a complete game. The SSSC Style of Play is introduced to players at this age, and practice sessions are meant to emphasize playing soccer the right way. The level of the players in this age group are expected to have previous soccer playing experience. Players in the Competitive program play in various leagues depending upon the skill level of the team and some leagues may even include travel to the Northeast (NY, NJ, PA) or Southeast states (NC, SC, GA). The leagues may range between the Elite Development Program (EDP) League, Club Champions League, and the US Youth Soccer National League. Leagues will be determined based upon the skill level of the team. The goal for these teams will be to either play in College or Pro. We wil be combine with other clubs for the highest level players and these player will get to have a shot a playing in Europe
Physical changes to the body are prevalent during this competitive period and players are more attuned in coping with tougher training programs and increased schedules to build stamina and personal strength. Tactical awareness and more advanced exercises to improve skills are introduced and applied in real game time. A greater understanding and further advancement towards possession, retention and distribution techniques is encouraged and the concepts of the 5 pillars of play: technical, tactical, psychological, physical, and physco-social are all emphasized. Preparation and strength is openly discussed as part of the program.

With the introduction of 11 v11 and full size fields for game time, this program enhances all the knowledge and understanding of the game learned to date and formulates to another level of skill progression. There is a directive to work with players far more technically and to home-in on personal, individual qualities that favour particular positional play and to build on such strengths without ignoring the need to overcome weaknesses. A broader approach to the game is coached which includes nutritional and dietary teaching measures for sustained and better health, and psychological awareness to cope with the ups and downs of soccer which can be applied to winning, losing and injury recovery. It is a period within the academy which pays a lot of attention towards the speed and pace of the game all while continuing to develop the 5 pillars of play: technical, tactical, psychological, physical, and psycho-social. Whilst individualism is always encouraged, soccer is a team sport and the awareness and movement of others on the field of play is a constant topic for discussion. There is no ceiling to the progress that can be made from the program.

We always NEED new volunteer assistant coaches for Rec teams. Please consider volunteering to assist or even help manage a team. Your child’s fee will be discounted for volunteering. SSSC Recreational Program is 75% volunteer dependent, and without volunteer parents like you stepping up, our children would not be able to play. If you’d like more information on volunteering, please email the Rec Director
