The purpose of the PDP is to introduce a higher standardized level of soccer training for U10-U11 players. One of the primary goals of the program is to create a training environment that encourages the technical skill development of every recreational player while serving to prepare players for Select and Premier soccer opportunities that begin at U11, if they choose to participate. The PDP is organized through the Wenatchee Valley Youth Soccer Association to educate and expose players, coaches and parents to higher level age appropriate technical training.

The PDP is offered on a year round quarterly basis to all U10-U11 players regardless of their ability. There are no training costs for Wenatchee Soccer Club players. Big River, Cashmere and Leavenworth players pay $50 per player per session. Each quarter will consist of 8 training sessions (once per week) and an optional jamboree or tournament. Players may participate in one or more quarterly sessions. During the Spring and Fall recreational soccer seasons, players will continue to play on their recreational team and will have the option to also participate in the PDP.

If your child is a registered U10-U11 player and would like to participate in the PDP, please register online by contacting Mike Osborn, Mike@WVSportsplex.com. U10 & U11 Coaches are encouraged to bring their teams and help facilitate instruction once activities are demonstrated by the Head Trainer for the evening. Players will train T Lincoln Elementary School this summer. Please have players bring their own ball to train with. We have a limited number of PDP balls for players to use. Listed below is the 2011/2012 tentative training schedule and staff coaches.
