2022-2023 Winter Bridge Academy
Purpose
Recreational players interested in building soccer skills and transitioning towards competitive soccer opportunities at OSNK United should look no further. This program focuses on teaching up-and-coming players basic foot-skills and fundamental techniques required in passing, receiving, and dribbling.
It is important to realize that the bridge academy is NOT a continuation of the recreational soccer season but rather a structured, developmental training opportunity centered around learning, growth, and fun. Motivated players are best suited.
Goal
To provide instructional training for players wanting to learn soccer’s essential, foundational techniques including foot-skills, ball control, and body mechanics. Ultimately, players build confidence, skill, and passion for the game; using them as a springboard towards competitive soccer opportunities at OSNK.
