The Philadelphia Union has announced it will host Player Pathway Program (PPP) ID sessions this summer.
According to the Philadelphia Union’s website, this invitation-only, club-neutral supplemental training program allows “identified talented players” to practice through the Philadelphia Union player development principles and techniques.
The Player Pathway Program is geared toward dedicated travel players U8-U14. These youth athletes are those seeking high-level, supplemental training and competition that augment their current club training schedule. Sessions within the program focus on mental, physical, tactical, and technical aspects to the game of soccer.
To participate, each athlete must be identified or recommended through Philadelphia Union Youth programs or Open ID Events. Selected players will be invited to join the PPP and assigned to their respective age groups within a training pool.
