About the Advanced Development Program
The ADP is a year round training program with two training sessions per week during the off season, one practice during normal club season play and we train during all seasons. The ADP training program will be offered to high performing boys and girls players in the U11 - U15 age groups. The selected players will be invited to participate in the development sessions while being registered and active on their respective club team.
All players will continue to represent their club in practices and matches. The East Cherokee Futbol Club Advanced Development Program (ADP) is for those talented kids who have a natural gift or overwhelming desire to progress their skillset and learn the game at a higher level. These players will be invited based on their attitude, ambition, and ability. All players will be to expected to adhere to a strict training regiment and will include working independently on their own while not currently training.
