Volunteerism Is Key!   DRILLERS APPAREL Uniform Requirements and Other Items How do we differ? How does Drillers Club soccer differ from most community soccer programs?   First the players; our players not only have a passion for the game of soccer but a strong desire to improve.    Second the coaches; our coaches guide players through the process of developing their expertise in all aspects of the sport through deliberate practice and play.   Deliberate practice is focusing on one’s own weaknesses rather than simply fooling around and playing to one’s strength.  Studies show that practice aimed at remedying weaknesses is a better predictor of expertise than raw number of hours; playing for fun and repeating what you already know.

EDYSC WHO ARE WE? The Edmonton Drillers Youth Soccer Club has been operating a successful club soccer program out of north Edmonton, as a member of the Edmonton Interdistrict Youth Soccer Association (EIYSA), for the past number of years. EIYSA's focus is on the further development of youth soccer and competition at Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels, in age groups from U12 through U18. EIYSA teams have perennially advanced teams to provincial and national championships in the competitive youth soccer circuit.  In addition, the Drillers is one of few Clubs in Edmonton that has competitive teams at the adult level playing in the Edmonton District Soccer Association.  With this Drillers' players have an opportunity to continue to play within the Club once they are done their youth career. The focus of the Drillers, along with other EIYSA clubs, rests primarily on developing the physical and mental skills of youth players to successfully perform in the competitive soccer ranks. The Drillers have a player development program in place designed to build and hone player skills as well as an active coach management program designed to ensure we get the best possible coaches.   If you have questions about the Drillers, the club's program, etc., please contact one of the Club representatives noted on our website.
