Newfield Soccer Club: Travel

Travel Program

PROGRAM

Travel soccer is for qualified, committed and dedication soccer players. Travel soccer starts at the U10 age division. Players who wish to play travel soccer must attend tryouts for the team they wish to play on (special cases will be considered at discretion of DOC). Travel teams are coached and managed by Parent-Coaches and also use professional training to assist develop and teach players to reach the highest level they can as an individual and team player. Travel teams practice a minimum of two (2) times per week and play one (1) game at the weekend in the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL).

MISSION

It is NSC mission to develop travel players to their highest level of capability, through; technical, tactical and physical training in a competitive, learning, soccer environment. We also strive to teach players the psychological aspects of the game and how to handle competitive situations with RESPECT, and provide players the experience required to take the game to the High School or Collegiate levels and beyond if they so desire.

ELEGIBILITY

Players who wish to play travel soccer must attend tryouts for the team they wish to play on. Tryouts are held at the end of the Spring season (June) of each year. If a players wishes to attend tryouts or practice with the Travel team in their age group, they must contact the coach of the team. To be a travel player it is a family commitment as well as the player, although it can be a very rewarding experience and teaches young players important values and life experience.

COST

Costs involve NSC registrations fee's, professional training, uniform, tournaments, winter leagues and summer camps. All teams vary and are based on the individual team commitment and dedication. Some choose to do more training and tournaments than others so it is very important for the family to know the team goals and expectations when joining the team.

HOW DOES FUTSAL PROMOTE BETTER TECHNIQUE?
FutsalLILogo
Just watch Futsal players fight to keep the ball from crossing the touch line and you'll immediately begin to see how Futsal develops skill, control, and technique. A small field with lines puts players constantly under pressure from other players and out-of-play boundaries. Players must learn to settle the ball rapidly, chop sharply, shield effectively, pass quickly and move into space.

Compared to walled soccer or large indoor field soccer, Futsal places a greater premium on ball control. There is no reward for errant passes because the other team gets the ball. There is no reward for errant shots because the other team gets the ball. There is no incentive to 'kick and run' because the field is too small and packed with players. Players with the ball must use proper technique to maintain control and must seek out other players in space. Players without the ball must move to 'real' space and must truly support their teammates.

With Futsal, the emphasis is clearly on control and technique. Without control and technique you cannot expect to succeed in Futsal. And, if US players are to be more successful in the international arena, it is clear that we must better train and prepare our youth on proper technique. Playing indoor soccer in a rink just does not make sense to any serious development program. If you are serious about skills and technique development, Futsal is the superior activity. Futsal promotes better technique and develops skills more rapidly. And if you are serious about the quality of the time you spend playing or watching soccer games, Futsal is clearly better.
