CDA
COMPLETE TRAINING. Our philosophy — the CDA Way — centers on the fi e
components of the game: technical, tactical, physical, social and psychological.
Each player is challenged in a dynamic, competitive, and fun environment and is
taught to make decisions under the guidance of a qualified coach Our club takes
its cues directly from the best practices established by US Soccer.
ONE CLUB — ONE FAMILY. We are not a group of independent teams sharing the
same name. We are ONE CLUB and each team benefits f om all club resources.
WAY
Our directors and coaches are connected at all levels, operating under an
integrated training philosophy and playing style. This creates a consistent
learning environment for our players. The consistent use of club colors, logo, and
style provides each member with a sense of belonging, and we strive to promote
and provide a family environment within the club.
PHILOSOPHY
DEDICATION TO THE CRAFT. Success in coaching happens by design. One can only build and
maintain a championship environment through consistent, intentional effor . Our coaches are
both trained and experienced, and are constantly improving their credentials and professional
COACHING
development. Regardless of which team you join across our Southern California reach, you will find
coaches passionate about developing excellent soccer players and people.
PHILOSOPHY DECISION MAKING AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Players are encouraged to make decisions
according to their unique way of reading the game. Conforming players to a rigid process might
COACHING
minimize certain errors, but it would negate the opportunity for the spectacular. Creative flair
makes this game special. CDA Slammers provides recommendations and guidance, and then
insists players make decisions. Coaches analyze results and provide feedback so players can
PHILOSOPHY
learn to make better and better choices. Coaches also teach players the proper way to accept both
accolades and criticism.
DEDICATION & SELF-CONFIDENCE. Our coaching staff underscores the value of personal ownership
over one’s development. Players own their successes and mistakes, and commit to improving their
skills – both during practice and on their own time. The best players work hard in training and also
//////
make time to work individually. With greater skill comes greater consistency and performance,
which leads to greater confidence The net result of this commitment and effort is inc edible
mental strength.
TACTICAL PERFORMANCE. Each team’s head coach decides what system best fits the abilities and
style of the players. Formations and tactics vary from team to team, and some teams may deploy
diffe ent formations depending on the situation. Every player is taught to know their role on the
OUR
field – attacking defending, transitioning, etc. Training in areas like reading the game, movement
without the ball, angled and bent runs, individual and team defensive principles, and offensi e
shape is crucial to proper development.
COACHING TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE. As a club, CDA Slammers FC is committed to earning and keeping
a reputation for technical excellence in soccer. Individual technique will be emphasized in all
environments, from training sessions to matches. Our coaching staff is equipped and t ained to
PHILOSOPHY
develop their players for the appropriate next phase of their technical development.
TEAM CHEMISTRY. Teams that care about each other are far more successful, and enjoyable, than
teams that simply play with each other. Often, team chemistry is the “X-factor” that propels a team
past their competition. Team chemistry is built through a number of factors, and our coaching staff
is well versed in building and protecting team chemistry.
