Fall Stride Details

PROGRAM DESRCIPTION

The Windy City Fall Stride program provides additional and advanced small group instruction for 7th and 8th grade athletes in our Windy City programs. These sessions are meant to enhance the instruction players are receiving on their junior high teams or league play in the fall. Sessions are semi-private with each group limited to 12 field players and 2 goalkeepers with two coaches.

Fall Stride is especially geared toward two types of players:

1. Serious players that are in Windy City Select and Travel Team programs. These players want to get extra coaching and touches on the ball to enhance their performance on those teams and help them become better all-around players.

2. Players who are not in the Select or Travel programs but participate in 2011 Windy City Winter, Summer or Fall programs. These players want to receive extra instruction for their junior high teams, to improve their performance in the Windy City Fall League or to prepare for 2012 Travel Team tryouts.

PROGRAM COACH

Amanda Care, Windy City Director of Program Development and Travel Team Head Coach will coach each session. All programs are managed and supervised by Barb Liles and Warren Dorn.
