McLean Youth Soccer Association

The Power is coached and trained by Jamil Faryadi, a five-time State Cup Champion youth coach and Coerver foot-skills specialist, Clyde Watson, the club’s Technical Director and the Washington Freedom Assistant Coach and Kris Ward, a Freedom staff coach and Maryland and Region 1 ODP coach. Coaches Faryadi, Watson and Ward are involved in player selection and development for the team. Together, the Coaches design and run the Team’s training sessions. In addition, the Team’s keepers are trained by MPS trainers, who include successful State Cup champion coaches and an experienced keeper trainer who played for his country’s National Team.

 

The Power is not run by parents -- it is an MPS team, and as such, player selection, the training curriculum and schedule for the Power are determined by MPS. The primary focus of the Power is on solid training, which includes a strong fundamental skill set, tactical awareness and fitness, all accomplished in an environment that promotes a love of the game. Through this curriculum, Power players have competed for and won spots on the Washington Freedom SYL team, the National ODP Camp/Pool, Region 1 ODP Camp/Pool, State ODP teams (Maryland and Virginia), and Virginia’s District ODP pool.
