Future Stars | YOB 2014-2017

Coaches will work with Future Stars to build a strong fundamental skill base and spend time in each category of venue. This will provide children with an opportunity to discover their personal area of interest. As kids learn about the basic aspects of the various disciplines, they will also be introduced to the safety, etiquette and competition arena protocols. SSCV places a premium on the athlete-coach interaction. Every coach possesses experience, knowledge and tremendous passion to support every individual athlete on their journey in the sport. In return, coaches expect commitment, effort and respect on behalf of the athlete and families.
