9/10 PDP (Player Development Program)
Fire FC’s U9-U10 PDP is part of the third phase of our long-term development model for our youth soccer players. It is an optional program (OPEN TO ANYONE) that creates an opportunity for players that have developed a passion for the game at the younger ages (U5-U8) and develop under Fire FC staff direction. We believe this is a crucial program for players looking for more, as skills will still be the primary focus but players can now begin to surround themselves with players of the same passion (not necessarily same ability at these ages) and who have a willingness to be coached by Fire FC licensed staff.
9/10 boys and girls. The focus will be individual skills, athletic movement, and basic tactical concepts. Players who do this program should love the game and want to get better.
