UUSC Fall 2024 - Summer 2026 Mandatory Uniform

This uniform is mandatory for all UUSC Competitive Players. Uniforms are on a 2 year cycle. The cycle for our new uniforms is Fall 2024 through Summer of 2026. Capelli Sport is our official uniformer. The club DOES NOT order player uniforms, each player is responsible for ordering their own uniform. Player acceptance is required in order for us to build the teams on Capelli's website so please accept your player's position prior to June 23. You can begin to order player uniforms June 24. The club will add the Capelli Store to our website menu and the link below will be functional by June 24. Shipping has been taking approximately 5 weeks from date of order. Players without a uniform cannot play so it is IMPORTANT that you order your Uniform Kit no later than JULY 8!

Uniform Fitting
If you would like to come in to try on uniforms prior to ordering, the clubhouse will be open from 4pm-7pm June 27, July 1 & 2. The uniform cycle is 2 years so players will want to select a size that will last.

Uniform Kits will include the following mandatory items:
Home/Away jerseys (black/green)
Home/Away shorts (black/green)
Home/Away socks (black/green)
UUSC Training Jersey (3rd jersey) - The training jersey is to be used for practices and is an alternate option during "hot days"

GOALKEEPER (GK) KITS - These are NOT mandatory. If a player chooses to purchase their own custom Capelli GK kit, that will be at the choice of their parents. ALL GK's will wear Capelli GK kits during tournament and league play; the club provides a GK jersey to every team.

We highly encourage parents to stay away from the training space and watch from a distance. The tryout process can be stressful and we want to ensure the players are able to play without any additional stress.

If you did not fill one out in the Spring or have a new competitive player then you will need to complete one. This requirement is non-negotiable. Any player without a signed release will not be allowed to tryout. A medical release can be found and printed here or you may fill one out on-site prior to tryouts.

UUSC Competitive Curriculum

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Training to Train U10-U14 Age Group

Training sessions: 60-90 minutes long.

Main Focus: Mastering the ball and learning principles of play. Players transition from a "Learning to train" phase into a "Training to Train" phase.

Tactical Concepts: Principles of Attacking & Principles of Defending. These principles can be very complicated and at this stage of development the focus is creating a foundation based on these principles.

• Principles of Attacking: Penetration, providing support, movement off the ball, width & depth, and improvisation/creativity.
• Principles of Defending: Pressure & cover, delaying, balance/team shape, compactness, control & restraint (not diving in), and counter attack.

Session Structure:
Stage 1: (Warm up) Games or activities that work on different variations of ball control and team problem solving.

Stages 2 & 3: (Main activities) Games focus on individual and team problem solving. Players work on mastering activities learned from previous years and expanding on those activities with more complexity.

Stage 4: Each session should end with small-sided games to goals. Each activity will be building into higher-level variations to improve technical abilities, combinational play, and problem solving.

• Example of games: 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 4v3, 6v6
• Games can be played to end lines or with multiple goals (4 or 6 goal games)
• Possession games with and without neutral players
• Introducing principles of attacking & defending
• Switching the point of attack, playing out of the back, width & depth
• Pressure and cover, where to force the ball, not diving in.

Training to Compete: U14-16 Age Group

Training to Win: U16 & above Age Group
