Nexus

Players will have the ability to register for all three weekends of Nexus Training Camps at the location of their choice inside their respective region. Throughout the weekend, coaches will utilize a talent identification tool to provide consistency across regions when viewing and assessing field players and goalkeepers. Specifically, players will be evaluated in the areas of mindset, tactical, technical, and physical skills and attributes. Upon completion of Training Camp Weekend 1, players will be placed into one of four groups to best support their stage of development and their long-term success and enjoyment of the sport: Emerge, Aspire, Perform and Elite.

Training Camp Weekends 2 and 3 will enable players to focus and build on the areas of mindset, tactical, technical and physical skills that make up "The USA Way". Weekend Camps will use a learner-centered approach that puts the players at the center. All four groups will focus teamwork, collaborative problem solving and individual skills, utilizing game-based activities and skill development to keep players active, engaged, challenged and learning. All weekend sessions will include both on-field and off-field sessions, encouraging self-reflection to stimulate learning, growth and creativity. Pre-training online primers introduce important topics and supplement on-field learning. Feedback from coaches will be provided through out each session to guide players in creating their Personal Development Plan (PDP). The personal development plan will assist players in understanding strengths and areas and strategies for improvement. Field players and goalkeepers will be evaluated throughout all sessions allowing for movement with the pathway as players meet the tiered milestones to advance to the next level.
