At this age, our players continue to work on developing their technical, tactical, as well as social-emotional skills to play at a higher level. A goalie position, along with goalie training, is introduced and practice is now 1.5-hours, twice per week, with one weekend game.
ABSC is dedicated to the health and well-being of our players. At this age, we have a strict No Header Policy and we begin each practice with the FIFA-11 warm-up to reduce chance of injury.
