The Coaching Staff of the Youngers Program has an expertise with coaching youth players. They place an emphasis on teaching technical skill in a positive sports environment, while at the same time ensuring that players are having fun and developing a passion for the beautiful game of soccer.

The most important period for developing the correct technique for skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting are from ages 6 to 12. Youth that do not participate in a competitive program during this period will fall behind their piers in regard to the technical and tactical aspects of the game.

Nado Select’s aim is to develop players and teams during this most crucial timeframe, so that these youth may compete at the next level as young adults. Achievements of a youth player can carry on to even greater success as a high school, collegiate, or even professional player. The Youngers Program feeds into the Olders Program, which is led by a coaching staff determined in helping players reach their greatest potential.

Coronado Youth Soccer League recognizes that there may be situations in which a player (U13 and below) shows promise as a soccer player and has an interest in trying to achieve a higher skill level by training with Nado Select coaches, but has not yet reached the level of play of the other members of a given team. In such cases, the Director of Coaching and Coach may consider allowing a player to train with a team as a developmental player.
