Pinelands Soccer Association Information

Vision Statement / Plan "The Vision or Mission of the Pinelands Soccer Association is to provide the foundation and environment that will produce the best soccer players." The recreation plan is to move to a “Clinic” setting which will concentrate on skill development and small-sided games from ages U-5 to U-12. All age groups will have 2 training sessions per week and Sunday afternoon games. On game day, the players will be divided up equally pending the number of available players within that age group and play organized games. We want all players to play as much as possible without sitting on the sidelines waiting to enter the game. The focal points of training will be: 1. All training methods listed in the U-8’s with higher degrees of difficulty. 2. Minor tactical training. 3. Stress in greater detail the following: A) Containing & Defending (Marking) B) Communication in game situations. C) More Intense Dribbling moves & “fakes” D) Passing & moving to space E) Positioning Roles & Responsibilities F) Possession of the ball. (Stressing “Keep-away”) 4. All practice sessions to end with small sided games.
