A partnership based on development

Soccer Performance International is proud to begin its’ 10th year with CYA soccer! The partnership between the two organizations is one based on education of both players and coaches. This successful partnership has impacted over 4,000 players and 520 coaches through a training program tailored to meet the specific needs of CYA. Over the past 9 years CYA members have enjoyed and benefited from weekend training sessions on skills development along with practical instruction for parent coaches.

Since CYA believes that player development begins with a proper coaches’ education, SPI licensed trainer’s aid in the transition of new coaches and further develop the seasoned coach. SPI offers a well rounded program consisting of classroom training on the "Fundamentals of Coaching", skills training sessions, and team visits. SPI is also proud to have played a role in the certification of over 300 CYA coaches through the Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA).

In the fall 2009 and as part of a growing CYA Legacy Program, SPI will continue training the six new U-9 travel teams "graduating" from the clubs recreational program along side of the four U10, six U11 and four U12 teams. Many of these players have been trained by SPI since they were U-5 and participated in the HUGS program! These teams will be playing in all three of the local area leagues (WAGS, NCSL and ODSL). The Legacy Program will have SPI professionally licensed trainers working closely with CYA coaches in all facets of team and player development.

CYA soccer has taken full operational control of the facility, and will continue training all its’ 42 travel teams on this “state-of-the-art” training facility.  

The U9-U12 Legacy Training Program, in the works for over two years, involves 24 volunteer coaches, 10 professional trainers and over 220 very talented young players. The program aims to utilize experts in the field of player development to assist coaches in the coaching of their individual teams.
