The Black & Yellow program is the first stage of the BVB IA Arizona player pathway before reaching BVB IA Arizona competitive programs. BVB IA Arizona uses this stage to teach young players ages U11-U12 (7v7/9v9) the fundamentals of technical skills and reinforce the game's love for players of all backgrounds and ability levels.
On the field, players are given fun, enjoyable, creative training opportunities that develop and emphasize technically proficient players. While the sessions are enjoyable, setting the players up for success over the long term is essential. This foundation is critical for success in competitive soccer.
This player-centered pathway approach considers that every player has their own speed at which they develop.
While "friends may want to stay together" from the soccer development perspective, identifying the correct environment where that player can thrive and develop is far more effective in the long run than a social promotion that is more common in schools or scout troops.
The environment at training will be challenging yet fun. Players will find themselves in situations where they will become problem solvers giving them a much more superior soccer I.Q.
Within the Black & Yellow Academy program is the need to develop parent understanding and support for the club's player-centered pathway approach to player development.
