Development Centre
The NSGSC Development Centre is the first step in the club’s development pathway and is open to anyone interested in improving their game U7 – U17. This program is designed to develop individual techniques and confidence on the ball through a challenging and fun environment led by our full-time technical staff. Players will learn skills that are transferable to the game through a progressive training syllabus. The “TECHNICAL” aspect is the most vital. It is key to not just playing the game but impacting the game in a positive way and it forms the base of all soccer.
‘OWN THE BALL, BEFORE YOU SHARE THE BALL’
We will coach players by emphasizing the following:
- Individual ball mastery
- Individual creativity by 1v1 moves
- Turning and changing direction at speed
- Passing and receiving techniques from angles and at speed
- Decision making based games
The NSGSC Development Centre programs all take place (unless otherwise noted) in our own Indoor Facility (NSGIF). The facility provides a safe, climate-controlled environment where players can focus on building their skills, not the weather! NOTE - the NSGIF is a spectator-free facility.
