The Advanced Training Program (ATP) is designed to add another teir to the structure of Piedmont Youth Soccer League. The ATP program is designed to offer players higher quality, professional training and competitive play. It is a stepping stone for players wanting to play at a higher level. 

ATP is not just for advanced players, but also for players wanting advanced training. 

COACHING STAFF
PYSL uses professional coaches for the ATP program, usually former players or other high level coaches.  PYSL believes that in order to teach at a higher level, you have to have played and coached at a higher level.

ATP CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES
• Provide a comfort level with the ball
• Develop fast feet
• Learn moves to beat an opponent
• Improve technique
• Develop better students of the game
• Equip players to play at a higher level if desired

PYSL’s Advanced Training Program is the best way for younger players to develop individual skills and prepare themselves without being pressured. At the end of each day, love for the game, fun, and player development all have to come before winning.

TRAINING
Teams practice twice a week on Mondays and Fridays at the new Smith River Complex.  There is a organized curriculum and games are used to bring out specific responses from players.  Training lasts between one (1) hour and one (1) hour and fifteen (15) minutes.  Players are encouraged to attend every session as practice sessions are progressive and help players reach higher levels faster.
