THE LITTLE DRIBBLERS PROGRAM

This is a fun, one hour program each week for 3 year-old players as an introduction to soccer!  Players must be 3 to sign up and can participate upon turning 3!  There will be large group sessions in which players will play fun games.  They will not be placed on teams but will receive a soccer uniform with registration!

(Please note that if your child turns 3 after July 31st, they can participate but will be too young to play in the U5 teams group next year.  Any player turning 3 after July 31 will participate in the Little Dribbler Program for 2 years.)

Crossroads Soccer Association is proud to announce the hiring of Bruce Deaton as the club's Director of Player Development.  This new role will have Coach Bruce working together with existing Technical Director, Jeremy Poklemba, and Executive Director, Rebecca Lee-Poklemba, to expand the education and development of the 1200+ players at Crossroads and their coaches.   Specifically, Deaton will help oversee Crossroads’ large recreational program, devise and implement a uniform coaching curriculum, and provide in-person and online technical and tactical support to Crossroads’ members.

Deaton is in his second year as the Head Women’s Soccer Coach at Louisiana College.  Prior to his appointment at Louisiana College in August 2010, he spent seven years as the head boys and girls coach at Ouachita Christian School.  While at Ouachita Christian, he was twice named Louisiana High School Coach of the Year and also received state and southwest regional coach of the year honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).

He holds a US Soccer Federation “B” License and National Youth License as well as an Advanced National Diploma and Level II Goalkeeping Diploma from the NSCAA. He is a member of the state of Louisiana Olympic Development Program (ODP) coaching staff and a state coaching instructor.

Deaton is a graduate of Marshall University in Huntington, WV, where he earned both his bachelors and masters degrees, while playing his college soccer there.

With the wealth of experience and coaching acumen that Coach Bruce brings to the table, Crossroads is eager to be able to provide a better, more-fulfilling soccer experience to all of its members.
