Westview Soccer Academy

Introduction Video click here

The Soccer Academy at Westview is designed to develop the individual skills of the participants and give them an appreciation of teamwork in the game of soccer. The program will serve both Westview students AND students at other high schools in the district who choose to cross-enroll from their home school in order to participate in this specialty program. The program has a strong commitment to excellence in student achievement and is fully integrated into the regular school timetable.

The Soccer Academy at Westview will provide unique soccer specific courses. These courses will have in-class and on-field instruction. In the classroom, students will receive instruction in fitness, nutrition, strength training, sport philosophy, goal setting, time-management, leadership skills, coaching philosophies and laws and history of the game. The on-field sessions will focus primarily on individual skill development as well as principles of attacking and defending, positional responsibilities, systems of play, restarts and set-plays. In short, we address the Technical, Physical, Tactical and Psycho-Social aspects of the game.
