Developmental Soccer (Rising Rangers Boys) (Rising Strikers Girls)
OBGC is once again welcoming families of 1st and 2nd grade boys & girls to register for Developmental soccer this Fall season. The program will be set up and run as it always has but the Club has given funds to improve and help the parent Volunteer coaches. Volunteer coaches will be expected to run Sat games while Tuesday night trainings will be headed by Alan Pringle. Each team will be guaranteed a professional trainer every other week. Depending on the number of teams participating each volunteer coach should always plan on being present on Tuesday evenings. Alan will do his very best to make sure that every team has a “professional trainer” at least 50% of the Tuesday training sessions.
The developmental program emphasizes skill and technical development.
Developmental soccer is for 1st and 2nd grade children.
This is the next progression from the Instructional program and gives the base for players who enter either House or Select Soccer going into 3rd Grade.
