JSC YSL International Tournament

Welcome to JSC Soccer Training Academy!!! The primary goal of JSC YSL International Tournament is to provide a fun, laid-back environment where new players can break into the sport and more experienced players can continue to develop and enhance their soccer skills. JSC is played on Friday and we usually do not recommend holding practices between games. Coaches can work with their teams before each game to practice skills and prepare to play.

For many players, particularly in the younger age group (U-9), this is their first experience with organized sports. At the U-9 level, the primary objective is to ensure that the players learn the basics and, most of all, enjoy the experience and build confidence so they are ready to come back and play in the fall. At the older age levels (U-12, U-14-17 ), the same core objectives apply with the added element of more competitiveness, which inevitably becomes a bigger part of the game. At all age levels, we want to stress skill improvement, not winning and losing. To ensure that all players have the opportunity to play and learn on the field, The focus on skill building obviously grows as the players become older and what we can reasonable expect from players also changes depending on their age.
