Soccer ProgramsFall 2004 SuperSessions Schedule Announced!The Silverbacks @ United Quest Park take great pride in our reputation as a leader in the development of youth soccer players. We were one of the first clubs to bring professional coaching and a set curriculum to recreational soccer, and the first to create the popular SuperSessions format. If parents and coaches reiterate each sessions' coaching points, the players will develop even faster. We believe that our age appropriate curriculum will foster a love of the game, teach basic skills, and make each practice session FUN! In Smidgets through U10, United Quest Park has structured, developmental training sessions in conjunction with each team's practices. Below is a brief outline of the fall 2004 age groups schedule, format, and clinic leader information. Smidgets: Our Smidgets SuperSession is held in conjunction with each Sunday's games. AJ Adcock is this year's Smidget clinic leader. He will be running both the 1:30 and 3:30 sessions. Players and parents preview each session's activities with Adcock, then complete a 30 minute practice session. A 3 vs. 3 game follows for the last 30 minutes. All players need to bring a size 3 ball to every session. Schedule: nine sessions,1:30pm or 3:30pm, starting September 12.

U-8 AcademyThis program is designed for recreational players seeking additional, more advanced training. It is for the more technically advanced rec. player who possesses a willingness to learn, a positive attitude, and the desire to advance his/her personal knowledge and skill level. It is not intended for those with only a casual interest nor is it intended to be a remedial soccer practice. The purpose is to assist in propelling U-8 rec. players into our U-10 Academies and eventually into our Athena & Classic select programs, or to simply enable participants to become better rec. level players. By increasing the skills of the individual players, this program will enhance the quality of the United Quest recreational program. Program Details The program is open to all U-8 recreation players, boys and girls. The fall 2004 Academy will be a 7 week program with sessions on Friday nights. Session #1 will be September 10, and subsequent sessions on 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, all at 6:00pm. On 10/15, and 10/22, sessions will start at 5:30. Players are asked to meet at the clubhouse for field assignment. There is no cost for the program. All sessions will be facilitated by Jerry Barbero, who also runs the U6 and U8 Supersessions. Contact Jerry vie e-mail for more information. Remember that every player needs to bring a ball.
