(most competitive), Gold and Black teams are formed following player
placements. U17 teams train three times per week, once in an academy format and
twice separately with their teams. The primary focus for academy sessions is
specific attention to technical and athletic abilities that emphasize on muscle
regeneration. The two team sessions focus on positional development, small
group concepts by line (GK> Defense> Midfield> Forward) and team
tactics in the FUSION system of play: 1-4-3-3.
Team attacking
tactics are broken down into 4 phases:
Phase 1 -
Playing out of defensive third of the field
Phase 2 -
Playing through middle third of the field
Phase 3 -
Playing into opponent’s defensive third
Phase 4 -

“Elite
Performance Stage” teams master and adapt their FUSION style of play to win: they
use control, creative synergy and esteem. Training for game-related situations
in the Performance Stage continues with specific match rehearsal based on
analysis of opponents, and video analysis and assignments away from the
