Developmental Soccer - Colorado Fusion Soccer Club

Developmental Soccer

Youth soccer is fun. It’s about running, kicking and enjoying a new game with your friends. Colorado Fusion Soccer Club’s developmental soccer program is focused on instilling the positive values kids learn from organized sports while your child is learning the game of soccer. Development doesn’t stop after the first few years in soccer. Playing soccer with the Colorado Fusion has tremendous health benefits, improves self esteem, builds character and ensures that kids have the opportunity to play soccer throughout their school careers and beyond.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Following the guidelines and curriculum of US Youth Soccer and the Colorado Rapids/Adidas Alliance, Fusion teams’ practices are focused on two key elements:

Using engaging exercises and games as a way of teaching skills and fundamentals. This is different than running drills and it has been shown that children respond well to this type of instruction.
Guaranteed small-sided games and scrimmages so kids can continue to learn soccer in a game-like environment.

For those kids and teams looking for additional skills instruction, Colorado Fusion also runs the FusionMax Training program with includes individual training through our F.I.T program and our Fusion Premier individual and team skills programs.
