FWSC is proud to partner with Soccer Genome to provide professionalized player development sessions to our club members.

The purpose of our player development program is to provide our youth members with access to elite level training with full time dedicated soccer coaches who specialize in helping young players develop their soccer skills and find lifelong joy through soccer.

Soccer Genome is a Raleigh based 3rd party coaching firm, specializing in elite level soccer training and coaching in the greater Raleigh area since 2011.

Our desire as a Club is that our player development program will help young players accelerate their development under qualified coaches, so that each and every player has the opportunity to improve their individual ball skills (technical development), application of these skills in a game environment (tactical development), increase soccer specific physical development, and psychological resilience.

The player development program is structured into one hour training sessions, offered weekly at the FWSC soccer fields during the Fall and Spring seasons.

Players can register to participate on a weekly or monthly basis.

The Soccer Genome led technical sessions will be fast based, one hour training sessions working on the following foundational soccer skills:

• Individual ball control and ball mastery.

• Individual attacking and defending principles of play.

• Soccer specific conditioning and athletic development.

• 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 foundations and principles.

• Decision making.

• Game specific player actions.
