Pre-Travel News

We are pleased to announce that our pre-travel program will be returning this spring.  The buzz about the program last fall was fantastic.  Everyone is invited to come and watch the Red Bulls run these sessions at Macy park.
 
Please pass the word around about the program.  Registration can be done on line thru http://www.sportssignup.com/fcgreenburghunited.start
 
The sessions will last for 1 hour and run on saturdays and or sundays from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm.  Exact dates and times will be determined after all registration is complete.  The season will start on April 16th and end on June 17th.
 

Pre Travel Program Info -

At Greenburgh United, we believe that it is very important that our young players are given proper instruction in their earliest experiences with the sport, in a fun filled environment.

Our Pre Travel program takes the emphasis off "results", and replaces it with a developmental approach.  The Red Bulls youth soccer curriculum was developed with this in mind.

Saturdays - Learning Day - probably 9am - 12 pm

The saturday sessions will have an emphasis on technical development in a fun environment, and will be run exclusively by Red Bulls trainers, with the help of qualified Greenburgh United volunteers.

There will be games within the "session", but the main emphasis saturday is on learning.

Sunday - Scrimmage Day - 9am - 12pm

The sunday session will be scrimmages run by Red Bull trainers, with the help of qualified Greenburgh United volunteers.

There will be no formalized teams and no parent coaching. On arrival, players will be placed in a scrimmage with players of similar skill level.

Sundays will be used to "teach" the game of soccer.  Each week, a new "rule", or aspect of play will be reinforced with the players, such as throw ins or goal kicks.

No uniforms required, pinnies will be provided on the field each week.  We ask that the parents watch and cheer all players and not involve themselves "coaching" from the sideline.  Greenburgh United is also planning to offer opportunities to continue play through the winter months, if they wish.  Details to be provided at a later time.
