New York Cosmos Announce Formation of Training and Development Program

The New York Cosmos today announced the formation of their official Training and Development Program (TDP). Led by Cosmos Director of Youth Development Fabian Banchiero, the TDP consists of two tiers that serve as a potential pathway to the professional team.

The first tier consists of Training Programs in which professionally trained and qualified New York Cosmos coaches will provide soccer development training sessions, coaching, camps and clinics to youth soccer leagues, clubs and teams in local communities throughout the tri-state area. The second tier consists of the Development Program that will primarily focus on elite training, camps and clinics for more advanced players and highly competitive travel programs.

“We are very excited about launching the New York Cosmos Training and Development Program this year,” Banchiero said. “We believe that our programs will bring an ideal structure and pathway for all youth players, clubs and leagues in our area. We are providing a model that is similar to what has been successful at many clubs in Europe and South America.”

The Cosmos TDP coaching staff will consist of hand-selected, highly qualified and trained professionals who are based locally in order to provide commitment and consistency for players in the program and region. It will also be directly tied into the first team and future academy program.

“This is another good step for our club,” Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese said. “Fabian and I will work together closely to create a unified philosophy for our entire organization, beginning at the top, and filtering down to all our youth programs. The TDP will also lay the foundation for next year’s new Cosmos Academy.”
