The Navigators Approach
Here at the Navigators S.C. our coaching staff is passionate about the game and desire to instill this same passion in our players. We want our players to have fun and look forward to training and matches. We want to build self-confidence, and a feeling of achievement in our young players.
Player Development
Navigators incorporate many of the training programs used by Ajax of Amsterdam in their youth development policies. The T.I.P.S. evaluation and training emphasis on Technique, Insight, Personality, and Speed as the essential criteria to gauge the progress of the players.
Children Soccer vs Adult Soccer
We need to make a separation from Youth soccer and Adult soccer. Parents and Coaches often times can do more damage than good if the approach and pressures are to focused on winning.
We break our youth development philosophy into age specific training programs with the goal of having our players meeting certain levels of proficiency in their age brackets.
