General Information


This TDP program takes place one night a week on Fridays with no Saturday games. All participants in our development program are placed into age groups rather than teams so that the emphasis can be placed on the development of the individual players rather then the development of a team. If you have a child you think would enjoy improving his or her soccer skills while at the same time having fun doing it, then we encourage you to come out and join us on Friday nights!
The program is supervised by our Directors of Coaching and is staffed by professional coaches from TCYSA .  Players will benefit from the experience of these coaches. Seven sessions are scheduled on Friday evenings beginning in September and again in March.


Location: 
NEW For 09-10:  Parents will have the choice of W-S or Advance areas.  

Players will be placed in age groups based on their birth date:

Inclement Weather Information
TCYSA does not take canceling sessions lightly but its primary concern is player safety. If severe weather threatens, or the fields are soggy and create dangerous field play, the TCYSA staff will cancel. 

Because of scheduling limitations, TCYSA will be able to conduct only one make-up session. No other make-up sessions will be provided.

You may check the weather weekly either by checking on our website, or you may call the weather hotline at 998-4277, option 4.
