Franklin Square Raiders Soccer Club is excited to partner with Royal Sporting Group for another Winter supplemental program!

Everyone loves good competition, but it’s really hard for beginner players to develop fundamental soccer skills in a match. Typically in a 40-minute match, the average player will touch the ball for a total of 1-3 minutes per game, and even these minutes are often under pressure in game-like situations, which limits ability for repetition to properly learn fundamental technical skills. Those conditions are pretty tough to overcome for new, developing players in order to improve at the “beautiful game”.

The players that we see improving the most are those who take training as seriously, if not more seriously, than the matches all while having fun at the same time.

Especially for pre-travel players interested in participating in competitive travel soccer, we highly encourage consistent supplemental participation to maintain development progress and to ensure our training partners get to see you on the field and know who you are come tryouts this upcoming May 2024.

We have formed a great partnership with our training partners to keep the supplemental registration fee very low!

Our Winter supplemental programs will run on Saturday mornings at Washington Street School Gym for 6 weeks. Session times are TBD based on gym availability and registration demand, but we anticipate two sessions at 9AM and 10AM start times.

In a single 60-minute session, your child will have a ball at their feet nearly the entire time, or for about 4 seasons’ worth of gameplay given the information above. That’s time for a lot of improvement!

Tentative Schedule: Saturday mornings at Washington Street School - 1/6, 1/20, 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17 (schedule subject to change based on space availability and potential conflict with district events calendar)
