The Position Specific Program (PSP) has been has been created to help players develop a better understanding of the individual and collective roles within the game for the following positions including, Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders, Forwards.
The PSP is intended to mirror top European professional soccer academy syllabuses. The goal of PSP is to afford players from throughout NJ the same high level of position specific coaching typically afforded to players in top European Academy’s.
Throughout the season, coaches and trainers have limited time to work on position specific roles within game situations. The PSP has been designed with this in mind using Jersey United’s “quality first” approach. Lack of focus on game realistic development, inhibits a players personal development. The PSP is designed to give players the essential game tools that top colleges and professional soccer teams seek.
