Concord Soccer Development Program
The Soccer Development Program Consists of a Fall Season, Spring Season and Winter Futsal
Each fall and spring, Concord Soccer's Soccer Development Program (SDP) provides community-based youth soccer instruction and games. Our program goes from Kiddie Kicker through U19. Our approach fosters character development, sportsmanship, skill acquisition, and fun in a positive, respectful environment. SDP is focused on player development, and from Kiddie Kicker thru U10 has no standings, won-loss records, championships, or playoffs.
Volunteers are key to SDP: they process registrations, organize teams, line fields, prepare equipment, serve snacks, and coach teams. Please consider donating your talent, skill, and time to your community. All coaches of our SDP teams are volunteer parents. We look for 2 coaches for each team in case 1 coach has a conflict for a session or game. Concord provides materials and guidance for those interested in coaching. Please register as a volunteer coach during the online registration process.
Each winter, Concord Soccer rents space from Brandywine School District on Saturdays so that players can play futsal, which is a 5v5 soccer game within the confines of a basketball court. There are no walls in play so ball control is paramount. Although Winter Futsal is part of our Development Program, the one-hour session is for play only. Parents volunteer to manage the sessions, that is, to bring the equipment, get the game started and keep it running smoothly.
*** Important: Please read the player and parent expectations.
