Pd1 Philosophy

PD1 stands on the principle that a passion for soccer must first be developed by focusing on technical skills, whereas the player ages, he or she begins to refine those skills, adding positional awareness to help players gain confidence on the ball.

When passion and confidence marry, the focus shifts to blending the player’s technical skills with a focus on teamwork and character-building to create excellence at the pinnacle of their youth soccer career.

Our goal for developing soccer players isn’t limited to only soccer skills, yet character, sportsmanship, and creating an academy that inspires players to be better people.
