Hollywood Elite

Philosophy: The Hollywood Wildcats Elite Travel Program is modeled after the European Club System.  It first a community of players, parents, coaches that work together to create a safe, healthy, and enjoyable place to learn and grow as athletes.  We are the only member of the Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA) in Hollywood and part of the FIFA.  We follow each player from the moment they register in the Wildcats Soccer Club in any of our programs.  They are continually assessed for improvement and placed according to their needs.  We pride ourselves in keeping communication open with parents so as to better develop the person and the athlete.  The Elite Travel Program is central to our philosophy since most of the participating players will be in the program from 8 years old until they graduate from high school.   The bond created between players, parents and staff during these formative years is strengthened by the successful development of each individual player.  We are dedicated to making them reach their maximum potential.

Description: The Wildcats Elite Travel program is for qualified players from U9-U18 that would like to reach their maximum potential.  Our goal is to provide the most up to date training methods to develop young athletes.  The program allows our young athletes to compete against top teams from the tri-county area, play in FYSA sanctioned tournaments, Play in Regional tournaments and eventually play in the State cups.   Our program runs throughout the year with 4 important periods.

  1. Pre-Season- Late August – Late October –
    • Phase 1 -Physical conditioning and return to form
    • Phase 2- Technical /General Tactical
    • Phase 3 – Position training
    • Phase 4 – Team Preparation for Competition
  2. Competitive Season– Although the competitive season is the longest period of the year, players and their parents will find it to be the most memorable.   It is a time when players become teammates and make friends that will last. Players will be asked to prepare for competition and will practice twice a week for 90min.  Half of the games will be played on their home field and the other half will be in the tri-county area.
