May 12th, 2008 by Derek Fox | Filed under News.The NorCal Premier League is excited to announce the creation of Player Development Program (PDP) Regional Training Program.
Philosophy of the Regional Training Program
We have modeled our Regional Training Program after successful training programs in Austria, France, and Belgium, where the top players are offered additional training opportunities - in the area they live. Our program’s philosophy follows a world-wide movement to train “the best players with the best players”. We believe we can work hand in hand with the clubs to ensure our top players are afforded every chance to fulfill their potential.
We are committed to creating a program which cooperates with the clubs, their coaches, teams and players. Every effort will be made to schedule training days with as few conflicts with the club’s player development program. Players should always fulfill their commitment to their club first.
PDP Regional Training Program
Beginning this June, the PDP Regional Training Program will offer a pool of recommended players in 1 to 2 trainings per month, at a site within their region. This will allow the top players from each region to train together. The players will receive the training, free of charge, from a staff of top coaches selected by the PDP State Technical Staff. In addition, we will continue to bring international professional coaches and college coaches for training sessions - at the Regional Training Programs site.
Regional Age Groups:
Boys & Girls - 97, 96, 95, 94
Regional Training Programs in:
Region 2 - Peninsula
Region 3& 4 - East Bay
Region 5 - North Bay
Region 6 - Sacramento

PDP State Program
Every 3 - 4 months the Regional Training Centers will come together for State PDP Training and Game Sessions. These sessions, held at a central site, will allow the State PDP staff to watch the players compete against each other. The goal of these sessions are to develop a PDP State Pool of players and provide additional player development opportunities. The first State Training and Game Day will be held this July.
State Level Age Groups:
93 & 92 - These age groups will be held at the state level only.
Player Development Program Goals
1. Identify - Work with the club directors, club coaches and PDP scouts who identify and recommend the top players to the PDP.
2. Develop - Provide additional top level training and player development opportunities to the recommended players
3. Showcase - Recommend to US Club ID2 camp our top players and host showcasing opportunities with college coaches or professional coaches from other countries
Recommending Players:
We are investing in the www.norcalpremier.com website. The registration process will be online in future. We will send out an announcement shortly to let you know when you may recommend the players online. Only coaches and coaching directors will have the ability to recommend players. This should be available in Mid - May. All players will have to be re - recommended.
