Winning vs. Development?

·          Our focus will be on the individual player not the win loss record. The coaches are not concerned with how many games a team won at U8, U9 & U10. The coach wants individual players that dribble with confidence, shoot with accuracy and defend with tenacity.

 What size roster should academy teams have?

·          As the U8, U9 & U10 Academy teams play 6v6 each team should look to carry no more than 10 players. Fewer players, more playing time, more development.

 What amount of playing time should a player have per game?

·          As it's Toro's goal to develop players, 50% playing time should be given to every Academy player.

Does the Toro Academy run specialized camps?

·          Yes, Toro runs seasonal camps that give Academy players extra training. These camps cover topics and skills that revolve around the Academy Curriculums.

Are Toro Camps run by professional Staff?

·          Yes, the Toro Academy Director (Jose Vargas) staffs all Camps with some of the most qualified coaches in the state of Nebraska.
