2022 Outdoor Phoenix "Dedicated Player Program" Outline
For Who?
U17/18+ male and female players born 2005 or Earlier
About
An opportunity for current or former Phoenix Youth Players and outside members to be able to remain in a positive, consistent and structured training environment. As players transition from Youth to Adult programming, players will be given the opportunity to train and compete with the frequency and quality of coaching they experienced throughout their youth careers. The DEDICATED PLAYER PROGRAM initiative will provide players with a home for their grade 11/12 year and beyond where they can continue to improve, be challenged, and play under the Phoenix badge. This program is being offered year-round to continue the development of players during a critical time-period prior to joining or returning to university programming.
