The SDP is primarily a training/practice program when many of our Seals Club Teams begin. We generally have our teams play in the SDP before playing club for at least one season, before making the jump into club soccer. The Seals Club teams are a much larger commitment of time, energy and finances. The SDP is a great place for developing soccer players that get everything they need developmentally in practices and local recreational leagues. The SDP also leaves room to accommodate other fall activities like homework in the new school year, AYSO, Boy Scouts, or any other activity that your child takes part in. Many of our younger Seals players often participate in more than just soccer and the SDP was designed with that in mind. Weekends are generally free in the SDP, and the training schedule allows room to modify your child's training schedule when necessary.
Training & Game Schedule (Subject to Change)
- 2 Seals practices per week - First Ave Middle School, Arcadia
- Possibly 1 game per week - weekdays/weekends
- 1 Futsal session per week - Duarte Futsal Courts
Seals registration payments are all made through the Sports Connect Portal during registration on our website. A payment plan can be set up online through your bank account, or you can work directly with me to arrange other payment options by check/cash. In addition to Seals registration there may also be league registration fees that vary by individual leagues, and there are also additional costs for uniforms and optional Seals apparel.
