About the Dynamo Travel Program
As the competition for school soccer teams increase, there arises a need to better develop players at a higher level to challenge for those position. As well, some players and athletes show a talent towards the game and need more of a challege to continue to develop. Travel level soccer offers the advanced player an environment to compete with other higher level players, and have the benefit of higher quality coaching. The em
phasis of the Dynamo Travel Program, will be to develop players to achieve their playing goals. To help players that get lost in bigger clubs that overwork players. The emphasis is on the individual development and not just the team. Dynamo believes winning is a by product of doing things the right way and focusing on the individual. For some players these goals may only be to make their middle school or high school teams, and for others, their goals may be to make a college program. Dynamo Soccer Club strives to provide a place to play for all levels of need and competition.
The Dynamo Director of Coaching implements a structured curriculum that all teams follow. There are certain standards that each age group sets out to learn each season. The Dynamo teams travel to tournaments together almost all the time so that players can watch one another and coaches can spend time with different teams. Some of the key elements in the curriculum include special training sessions with the DOC, festivals for younger teams, situational play, organized pick up games, private lessons, and the ability for players to train up when finding success.
The Dynamo Travel coaching staff is very professional, innovative, and of high quality. Coaching pedigrees consist of former college players, a former National team member, and even former college coaches. Dynamo strongly encourages and requires USSF and NSCAA licenses for all of it’s coaching staff. We also have a dedicated goalkeeper coach.
In the short 2 years (4 seasons), the Dynamo Travel Program has grown from 2 to 10 teams. Current Dynamo teams are finding success. We encourage you to ask existing travel players for the changes that we have made in their player. Contact our DOC at steve@dynamosc.com for more details.
