The Sports Beijing "CAPRI- SUN" Dragons
Football Club is for players that seek a higher
level of competition. In this development
program, coaches select players for each
team following competitive tryouts at the
beginning of the season. The coaches use
the tryouts to assess the players' individual
and team skills, their attitude and soccer
development potential. Please note that this
is a competitive program and some players
may not be selected for the team. Players
not making the team are encouraged to
continue to play in the Sports Beijing Youth
Soccer League.
There are four "CAPRI-SUN" Dragons FC divisions (Mini/Mighty/Junior/Senior) with teams within each division divided by age groups. The 10 to 14 players selected for each team meet twice each week -- one evening after school and then on the weekend for training sessions and matches. Competitive matches are arranged against other teams in Beijing. If there are enough players for two teams in any age group, we can organize an additional team in that age group, provided there are parents from the new team to volunteer as team managers and/or parent coaches. Please contact director@sportsbj.com if you are interested in starting a second development team in any age group
Mini Dragons
& Mighty Dragons
Mini and Mighty Dragon players must also register and participate within their age
groups in the Youth Soccer League (YSL) so will play on a YSL team on Saturdays.
Please see the YSL program page 6 for schedule and fee. The Mini and Mighty
Development Team players will be evenly distributed and placed onto the Youth
Soccer League teams according to their age in an effort to keep all the teams in
that age division evenly balanced and competitive. Within the Youth Soccer eague,
the development team players should assume the role of team captains and help
their YSL team mates by demonstrating good soccer skills and providing leadership,
encouragement, and good sportsmanship during the game.
Following their YSL sessions on Saturdays,
the 2001 and 2000 development team players
will remain behind and play a game as their respective Development Team in the YSL
age group above them.
