The first ever Dynamo Coaches Clinic, to be held August 1 - 3, 2008, will provide coaches with concrete examples and information pertaining to the needs of advanced youth players who aspire to play professional soccer.

Specific attention will be placed upon the attacking and defending weaknesses identified in the Houston Dynamo Academy and the practices used to address these topics.

Included in the course will be tickets to the Houston Dynamo-Columbus game in Houston on August 2. Groups will be given a match analysis assignment to be accomplished during the game, and reports will be given the following morning. Optimally, first-team coaches Dominic Kinnear or John Spencer will attend the debrief, but their availability will be unknown until nearer to the event.

All meetings will take place at the Outdoor Education Campus of the Presbyterian School, located at Reed Road and Highway 288. Coaches with ’A’ licenses can receive 2 CEU units for attendance.

The clinic fee is $180 for advanced registration / $200 for on-site registration. Register online at: http://houston.mlsnet.com/t200/youth/coaches_clinic/register/.
