What is the Advanced Development Program (ADP) for Recreational Players (2012-2019)?
The Advanced Development Program (ADP) is a separate program designed for recreational players who want more focused, high-quality training in a positive and supportive environment.
Due to the limited capacity for this program, priority, selection, and admittance will be given to players registered for our 2026 Outdoor Summer House League season. If you have any questions, please contact houseleague@ancasterlegacy.com.
Running over 10 weeks (June 13 – August 15) at Melissa Tancredi Field (ACC F3), ADP provides age-appropriate training sessions for U8, U10, U12, and U14 boys and girls, led by ALFC’s Technical Director, alongside certified and experienced coaches from backgrounds which include USport, NCAA, OCAA, and League1 Ontario.
Why Select the Advanced Development (ADP) Program?
Each session emphasizes:
-
Core technical skill development (ball mastery, passing, receiving, finishing)
-
Fundamentals-first coaching, with more detailed individual attention
-
Small-group instruction with capped numbers to ensure quality
-
Game play during the final 10–15 minutes to apply learning in match situations
The program includes screening for ALFC’s Competitive Pathway, making ADP an ideal stepping-stone for families exploring next-level opportunities.
This program is best suited for recreational players who love the game, want to improve faster, and are ready for a more structured development experience.
The Advanced Training Development Program (ADP) is for U8-U14 Recreational Players. It is a separate 10-week training program designed by our Technical Director and run by qualified coaches. It can be an early evaluation of players for our competitive stream.
