Omaha FC prides itself in providing age-appropriate skills training to all of our players.

We believe whether a player is a beginner, or simply wants to play soccer to have fun, they should experience skills learning during their season.

Historically, players will want to continue with a sport if (1) they have fun & (2) they learn something. Our program is designed to accomplish both of these objectives.

Younger teams will take part in three different hour long training sessions and older teams will participate in 3 longer, more intense training sessions.

Why Training Up Front??

• We want to provide skills learning at the beginning of the season, for use during the season.
• Training Up Front will be conducted by our club’s most qualified coaches. Coaches from our Select & Academy programs as well as our seasoned YDP staff will take part.
• It provides the opportunity to mentor our parent coaches. All YDP coaches will be on the field with their team. You’ll learn while your players learn.  We want you to leave oozing new knowledge.
• Your YDP Director, Christina Lewis, can focus on assisting coaches during game play.
  Problem solving for individual teams in terms of systems of play, and team tactics will be a reality.

How will the YDP season be formatted then??
For the first three weeks of the season, all teams will play a game and participate in club training.

After the first three weeks of the season:
U5, U6 & U7 teams will play games only
U8, U9 & U10 teams will play their scheduled game and have a team practice

Christina will provide coaches with access to Omaha FC CoachLink where coaches can access activities for warm-up before a game or content to facilitate an entire practice.
