Directors’ Message Director of Travel – Bill Gardner Director of Coaching – Nick Harrison Welcome to Spring 2013! The Winter season is coming to an end and the Spring season is only a few weeks away. We have had a busy off-season and have recruited several high level trainers to join WWPSA. We plan to introduce our outstanding trainer group in the next newsletter in March. Here are some key program updates for your planning:

Technical Development Academy (TDA) registration is open for Spring. We encourage girls and boys 5-12 years old to participate as this is the best experience to develop critical technical skills while working with our best WWPSA trainers. Spring TDA is a great springboard for players wanting to improve their individual skills for either Travel or Rec Soccer. Once again, we will be running our Friday Skills Program and look forward to 2 hours of advanced training and pickup. Our final Mercer FC Summer Select tryouts are this weekend and we anticipate some outstanding teams to be formed. Reminder: In order to get off to a fast start to our Spring season, all our players should start focusing on their fitness and endurance. Players should be working on getting into game shape now, exercising 3-4 times/week.

See you on the fields in a couple weeks!!

Mercer FC Summer Select Tryouts Feb 24th – WW-P High School South

Skills Night

Summer Select is a terrific opportunity to extend our Player Development Model, adding advanced professional technical skills training and highly competitive tournament games in a condensed 8 week period (June & July). We also have the opportunity to invite new players to join our teams and build the strength of our overall program and increasing the high quality of our teams.

This Spring, WWPSA invites you to participate in our Skills based Training program on Friday nights. We received excellent reviews for our new format offered in the Fall including an hour of professional Skills training and an additional hour of pickup soccer. The program runs 8 weeks for $65.
