Soccer Academy for 2022/2023 School Year - Mr. Marks
Intro: For the 2022/202 3 school year, I will take on the teaching of the MBSS Soccer Academy while Ms. Briker is on maternity leave. During 2020-2021 I headed up the Soccer Academy and am excited to be back and doing it again!
I enjoyed playing soccer my whole life as a child/ youth and into my adulthood playing men's league soccer with Delta United when living in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. I have a strong background coaching both girls and boys in the community and at the high school level when I attended Univerity in Victoria, and while working in the Delta, Surrey and most recently Central Okanagan school district. Last year with Mount Boucherie Secondary, I had the pleasure of co-coaching the MBSS senior boy's team to a 1st place finish in league play and we have made it to the finals in the Okanagan Valley the last 3 years running.
Course description: This program is open to players of all ability levels. Students applying to this program should have a strong interest in improving their individual and team soccer skills, and have a desire to increase their personal fitness level, confidence, and roles as leaders. Students will develop these aspects by focusing on the curricular competencies: technical and tactical development, personal growth, and healthy lifestyle. Prospective students must be prepared to show strong work ethic and teamwork. Students who take both levels of this course will be expected to advance upon their skills and curricular competencies, and further develop their leadership skills.
