RVDL Soccer Academy Try-outs
Next Try-out TBA

Calling All Aspiring Soccer Players.

Thank you to all the players that came out to test their skill at the Try-outs on Sunday

Unlocking the full potential in each and every player is our primary focus.

Our Full-Time Staff are from the UK with UEFA Coaching Qualifications in addition to Degree's in various soccer/sports/teaching related fields. We have a full-time Sports Scientist that provides all Player strength and conditioning requirements/programs including individual player assessments and personalized exercise fitness programs based on body type. Our Coaching Director Robin van der Laan, a former English Premiership player/Captain, was International Head Coach for Manchester United Soccer Schools. His leadership, expertise and knowledge for the development of youth players is instrumental in the accelerated development of all our players following our development model with specific focus on Technical and Tactical. Our classroom Tactical workshops presented at least once a month have real benefits to all RVDL Academy players. "Game Understanding and tactical decision making on the field" have been indentified by many International coaches as one of the main issues for the lack of Canadian based players progressing to the higher level professional game.

TRYOUTS

All players will be taken through a warm-up skills training session followed by skills tests and finishing with games.

To sample some of the quality that we deliver on a daily basis please register for our ongoing try-outs online through the following link:

Goalkeeper try-out

We are also looking at adding Goalkeepers to our Academy teams. Our Goal Keepers are coached by Euro-star Goalkeeper Academy in addition to our own training program. Please enquire about the availability of our Goalie sponsorship program for a reduction in Academy Fees for Keepers.

Guest players for Our UK Tour

4 of our Academy Teams will be traveling to the UK this July to compete in England's number one International Tournament The Keele Cup. The Teams will also be training with Multiple Professional clubs like Manchester City, Stoke City and Wolverhampton Wanderers as well as others. Although we had considerable interest and some guest players have joined us for this great experience, we still have the opportunity to bring a handful of Quality Guest players born 2000 or 2001. Those joining us for this trip will have a fantastic soccer experience and a chance to impress the scouts in tournament and training environments. Please contact Robin or attend the TRYOUTS if you are interested.

See you on the pitch!

This 3 times a week program coached by our professional Academy coaches provides the neccessary environment for players wishing to take their soccer to the next level but have not had the quality of coaching to get them there. Through our program this more immersive environment will allow the player to rapidly advance their skills preparing them for the next stage of competetive play.
We have ongoing tryouts available within our soccer school program.
