What is SYC EDGE?

[Anonymous]

It was all over their IG last night. What the heck is it? Are they trying to mirror academy teams with classroom training?

[Anonymous]

It is a new supplemental training program that runs for about 10 weeks. It is 90 minutes long with 3 parts: 30 min film review, 30 min strength/ conditioning/ agility, 30 min of ball work.

For u13-u19 1st teams, it appears to be mandatory. For all other teams/ individuals it is optional and runs about $200 for the program.

It is an opportunity for SYC to bring in more $

Charging for film review? That’s rich.

We’ll see if they can actually start to develop any professional ballers.

Compare it to the TSJ's advanced player program that is free! -I mean it's $600 for 8 sessions. So, $200 for 10 sessions is a bargain.

-Charging for film review? As a supplemental program with young players, yes film review is a paid service. The coach has to watch then game (1 hour) Coach has to take notes and highlight teaching points (1 more hour) Coach has to set up the learn gin space and go over the film with the players (1 more hour.) That takes about 3 hours with an experienced instructor. And it takes multiple sessions for kids to learn the teaching points. -So yes, it is a lot of time, coaches typically charge for film review. This is on top of 3 practices per week and 1-2 games on the weekends. The time commitment adds up.

You sound crazy. Film review is normal and expected for teams playing in national platforms.

You sound crazy. This is offered to all players. Yes film review is included for all 1st neats u13-u19 everywhere. You make it sound like film review should be free for all players.

Why would I pay extra for film review? That is the coach’s job to help the team.

Sevilla FC D Team is part of the academy. It isn’t a professional team. You should use Google some time.

He's 20 you plonker. Unless you are a world class/exceptional prospect you aren't playing on a La Liga first team at that age. Clubs have Under-21 teams. This is what he's basically signed on to play for. It is absolutely professional. He's getting paid.

Maybe you should actually know something about professional football before you try and denigrate a young man's success. That's the DMV way though isn't it? Try and tear people down because you're jealous.

You aren't paying for video review, it's for the strength/conditioning.

It’s a program that was supposed to be implemented almost 2 years ago. Supposedly the coaches felt so insecure about around the RAMP staff they did everything in their power stop RAMP from fully integrating with SYC.

Plonker,

Playing in an academy of a club at that level is an incredible achievement. I’m hardly denigrating it by pointing out the team is part of the academy, per Sevilla’s website. It’s literally an academy team. Not professional.

I’m not jealous. I’m just stating the facts. Just because you type something on DCUM doesn’t make it true. You’re actually the one lessening the achievement by deeming it professional when it is not. Being at the top of the academy pyramid at that club is amazing and that player should be proud.

Don’t let me bore you with facts and truth though. Shouldn’t you be writing a check for film review?

Using the term “professional football” doesn’t make you sound more knowledgeable either. As if you know anything about that world LOL.
