DAKOTA GOLD MENTOR PROGRAM
Dakota Gold believes that many of our Grassroots Academy players will benefit greatly from being around some of our older club players who are excellent role models for their behavior on and off of the field. Dakota Gold believes that this is a great opportunity for our older players to share their experiences and knowledge. The Dakota Gold Mentor Program is one that extends our player relationships within the club, further connecting our youth development programs with our club teams, and benefits both the older and younger players involved. The program involves selecting a small, yet outstanding group of senior level club players, boys and girls who will assist Dakota Gold staff coaches with the training of our Grassroots Academy players.
Any interested DAKOTA GOLD players, age fourteen to seventeen, should email Coach Cristian at Tim.Cristian@dakotagoldsoccer.com.
