Player Development
SHGSC provides the opportunity to participate in soccer programs that are run in a safe, fair and secure environment. As a part of the youth ministry the sports programs emphasize sportsmanship, team comradery, while developing their athletic skills to their full potential.
New for the 2009 Season: SHAA will be incorporating a player development program into our 2009 Season. This program will include training at major milestones in the SHGSC athlete's progression as described below:
Clinic Graduates
The Clinic Graduates camp is a weekend camp for 3rd grade athletes who have participated in SHGSC clinic. This camp is a basic skills camp for 'clinic graduates' to prepare them for moving to Inhouse or Travel soccer. The full cost of this camp for returning SHGSC athletes is covered by SHAA. For a schedule of available camps or to register, see Camps and Player Development.
Ongoing Skills Development
For ALL players, SHAA will continue to offer camps through several reputable training organizations. To encourage continuous player development, SHAA will cover $25 for any current athlete who registers for one of these camps (via our site ONLY). For a schedule of available camps or to register, see Camps and Player Development.
Travel "Team" Camp
The Team Camp is week long training session for travel teams. All travel players are expected to attend with their team and participation will be a consideration in the player draft. Please register for the appropriate session at Camps and Player Development:
- Session 1: U-10 Girls, U-12 Boys, U-14 Girls
- Session 2: U-8/10 Boys, U-12 Girls, U-14 Boys
If a player is unavailable, they may be able to attend the alternate week as long as they submit a request through their coach.
