A big thank you goes out to our House League and Competitive volunteers who returned once again to help deliver a fantastic season! Every year, parents and coaches sacrifice a significant amount of their time (and energy) to bring the joy of soccer to their kids. These sacrifices are often not easy to make, but they are made to keep the love of the game going. The players and the club appreciate it, and we thank you for your commitment!
At NorWest Soccer, we recognize the importance of putting players first. This means ensuring that every player has the best soccer experience possible to further develop their passion and interest in soccer. The unfortunate reality is that 70% of youth soccer players in Canada will quit by the age of 14. In recent years, NorWest Soccer has adopted the Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) program to try and reduce this trend in the London area. Long-Term Player Development focuses on guided development and game-realistic activities, aspects that are important in soccer skills development. The belief with LTPD is that players will learn more and have more fun, thus increasing the likelihood that they will continue playing the sport.
The NorWest Indoor Skills Program for the Fall/Winter season will be returning in 2016-17! This Long Term Player Development-focused program is run by provincially and nationally certified coaches out of our own indoor facility in the Northwest part of London. Players aged U5-U12 can have fun while developing their soccer skills, with soccer-based activities and small-sided games. More information on this program will be available in the coming months on our website at www.norwestsoccer.com.
