Dear Inter CT FC Supporters,
We are excited to have our USL Youth groups up and running along with our USL Talent ID camp! This past weekend marked a significant moment for Inter CT FC as our teams played in their first USL Youth matches. This was off the back of our highly anticipated USL Talent ID camp, which took place at the end of June.
USL Youth Matches:
Inter CT was thrilled to see the boys kick off their USL Y season this past weekend. All five teams, ranging from the 2014 to 2010 age groups, played their opening fixtures, with some teams even playing two matches across the weekend.
This season marks our inaugural participation in the USL Y summer league, a significant milestone for our club. We are proud to be one of only two Connecticut clubs accepted to participate in this prestigious competition. The league features teams that compete at a high level in their respective regional leagues, creating a challenging environment for our players to test their skills against tough and talented opposition during the summer months.
Participating in the USL Y league offers numerous benefits for our players. Firstly, it provides an opportunity to maintain high competition throughout the summer. The league's structure ensures that our players face strong and diverse opponents, essential for their development and growth as athletes. Additionally, our players benefit from two weekly training sessions with other motivated and dedicated teammates. These sessions keep them fit and active, help them build camaraderie, and improve their teamwork and technical abilities.
This competition is more than just a series of matches; it is a platform for our players to grow, learn, and excel. It prepares them for the upcoming regular season by keeping them engaged and focused. The exposure to different playing styles and strategies is invaluable, and we are confident that our players will benefit immensely and make the most of this incredible opportunity.
USL Talent ID Camp:
In addition to our competitive matches, we recently hosted our 4th USL Talent ID camp. This camp presents a fantastic opportunity for aspiring young players to showcase their abilities in front of coaches from Inter CT FC and gain an understanding of the broader USL network. It's a chance for talented individuals to demonstrate their skills and dedication and understand their potential pathway with the club. During the camp, players work on three key elements to help them on their soccer journey.
- Technical Sessions on the turf, where players looked to become technically excellent in key parts of the game.
- Classroom Sessions. Here, we worked on players' understanding of how we expect our players to play by watching game footage of our U20 USL Academy team. We also showed players their pathway through the USL structure.
- Gym Sessions. With the help of our partners, Sport Performance U, we were able to provide physical sessions in balance, core strength, flexibility and coordination that provide the foundation of technical skills and help prevent injuries.
Inter CT is proud to be able to offer such a rich learning environment for the serious player.
