Fall Competitive Program
Purpose
The Fall season runs from August-October. It is the first opportunity of the new competitive year for our U9-U14 players develop as players and introduce teams to the new demands of playing in an older age group and competitive level. Typically our older age groups do not train or compete during this time to allow them the opportunity to play for their high school programs.

Age Group Goals
Every player is different and WSC recognizes this. We also recognize the importance of having a plan for our players development. The way to do this is to set expectations for what expertise players need to develop over a 2 year span. Defining expectations for players, coaches, and trainers helps get everyone on the same page.
The Fall Age Group goals below are not the only pieces of our players we will be focusing on but they are the key elements. In addition, just because a player has become older that doesn't mean they have achieved mastery so we will continually be revisiting the building blocks of every player.

Fall 2011 Fees
If a team has a paid coach there will be additional fees to be paid by each team member. This amount will be laid out in a age group overview that will be provided at try-outs.
Teams that will typically have paid coaches are U12 C1 and all teams U13+. If a U9-U12 team does not have a qualified parent/coach then a paid coach will be assigned. If this occurs the team will not have trainer sessions but will work exclusively with their paid coach.
