- 5day/15hour Team Camp, planned & taught by the Head Coach (August)
- Watching 1 Top-Level Match per week on Television, incl. Individual Player Analysis (Year-Round) - that's over 100 hours per year!
- Customized, Written Player Dev't Plans for each player, 50-point Coach/Player/Parent Conference Evaluations (Jan & July)
- Private 1-on-1 Goalkeeper Training, coordinated and integrated with Team Training (March-May, August-November)

United's Head Coach is 2-time DAC Coach of the Year Stu Pierson (NSCAA AdvNatl, USSF C), whose philosophy of “value every player” is reflected throughout the training staff as well as the 2 other teams in the age group (SYC Pride). More about Coach Pierson's philosophy and approach may be found at his website: http://www.strikepartner.com.

Coree Reuter is United's Assistant Coach (NSCAA Goalkeeper I&II, USSF D). Coach Pierson's coaching "network" results in regular visits, consultations, and guest training sessions from some of Northern Virginia's most respected coaches, including UK Elite's Glen Waudby (NSCAA Premier) and SRA's Gavin Stevens (Brazilian National A).

SYC Pride United draws from two other teams in the SYC Pride System, including the Fire (WAGS5) also coached by Stu Pierson and the Panthers (WAGS5) coached by Jay Rouse.

SYC Pride United encourages and welcomes players wishing to compete at the Premier Elite level to guest train with the team. Players (born on/after 8/1/1997) wanting to “Guest Train” with the United should email Coach Pierson at pi ... @gmail.com with an indication of interest as well as a brief player history, including playing experience, position played, and other achievements, such as WAGS Division played and/or ODP.

All other SYC Pride United inquiries should be directed to Manager Betsy Wason at bl ... @verizon.net
