PDXFA DISCOVERY
Our PDXFA Discovery Program is designed to provide 2011 birth year players an environment to enjoy learning. The training environment has a balance of ball mastery, creativity, fun and also tactical awareness. Players get to train each week on a variety of aspects of the game that are all required for the competitive soccer player. Our Discovery Program targets players that are looking to play competitive club soccer and have a desire to do extra training. There are no games at weekends, no playing time rewarded, you just show up and get to take part in some cool drills and exercises. Our aim is to prepare you for when you begin competitive/club soccer.
Players get access to our Locker Room drills on our website, access to our monthly webinars, a Nike jersey, professional coaching and an opportunity to play/train with players from other clubs.
“If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way.”

OVERVIEW OF THE PDX FA DISCOVERY PROGRAM
TRAINING ENVIRONMENT
Players will begin with a warm-up and then take part in a series of activities that challenge not only their decision making but test their technical ability in a high-pressure environment. All of the sessions will be designed to recreate a game-like scenario.
SMALL GROUP TRAINING
These small training groups are available upon request. PDXFA will place you in one of our scheduled weekly sessions. The sole purpose of these training sessions is to create a game-like environment where players are challenged to execute with technical proficiency in unpredictable situations such as a game. We want to give players maximum touches on the ball, limited by space, time, and real pressure. We believe that these sessions with repetition will provide players with the confidence and know-how for when game day comes along.
COMPETITION
Our aim is to create a culture that players want to be a part of. We want everything to have a competitive element to it so that time is put to good use. High Performance will be key in everything we do and we will encourage all sessions to have a winner. The goal is for the players to build a competitive culture themselves.
MONTHLY ATHLETE WEBINARS
Each month PDXFA brings in players, formers players, coaches, and other experts from the soccer and sporting world. We will discuss player development, their own personal journeys, and special topics. Players will be invited to ask questions and gain an insight into what it takes to succeed at the highest level of sport.
