Boys YTL
The Oakwood Soccer Club is excited to introduce the Youth Training League (YTL), a unique soccer experience designed for young players as their first step into the beautiful game. Powered by Monaco Ford, this program is specifically crafted for boys and girls of select ages to develop fundamental soccer skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Program Focus
Our YTL program focuses on small-sided games (2v2, 3v3, 4v4) to ensure that every player gets maximum touches on the ball, enhancing their involvement and enjoyment. Unlike traditional recreational soccer, where teams might play 6v6 or 8v8, the smaller teams in YTL provide a greater opportunity for each child to participate and learn.
Coaching & Environment
Each session begins with professional coaching, where players are taught key soccer skills in a player-centered environment. Coaches encourage experimentation and creativity, allowing players to make their own decisions and develop a deeper understanding of the game. Following the training, players will immediately apply what they’ve learned in small-sided games, fostering both skill development and a love for the sport.
Development
To maintain a focus on learning and enjoyment, the YTL games do not include referees, and players are empowered to keep score—or choose not to—emphasizing skill development over competition. Additionally, parents and supporters are positioned away from the field to minimize distractions and create a more relaxed atmosphere for the young athletes.
Qualified Coaching Staff
Our qualified coaching staff, experienced in working with young players, ensures that each child receives the attention and guidance they need to thrive.
