Our Indoor Program

A Glimpse of what our weekly training sessions will entail for you as parents and athletes. Our main goal is to teach our players how to feel comfortable with the soccer ball by using the skills they learned in our one-on-one training during our small-sided scrimmages. We emphasize how to maintain possession of the ball at all times as a team and as a player. In most of our scrimmages, we play three on three.

Why 3v3  On the field, players are always presented in groups of three. Soccer is always a mix of triangles, regardless of the number of players on the field. We hope that, in addition to talent development, we can teach your child about triangles and how to see themselves and their teammates within this configuration.

Other skills: We strive to teach your child include shielding, receiving, dribbling, and, in the future, how to properly prepare for tryouts for local teams, high school, college, and potentially beyond. 

Our hope and goal  Is that everyone who has signed up for our program considers it an investment. Remember that even if your child is only there for the enjoyment of the game and has no plans to join a future soccer team, it is still an investment. We want to work hard with you to ensure that you get the most value for your investment.

Recommendation: that your child practices these skills for about 20-30 minutes a few times a week before our next training meeting to get the most benefit from the training. When these skills are not practiced, it is difficult to move on to the next skill, as every week we have new material following the week before. Each session should be building in the prior session.

Expectation: that this is an ongoing learning process, and we don’t expect your child to be ready to master the learned skills at the next scrimmage or even after the first or second 6-week session. It all depends on the child, including letting go of old habits and gaining new ones. Sometimes it is much easier to teach a new player that has never played the game than teach one that has played the game for a long time differently. I have trained players beyond 30 years old, and they have discovered the game a whole new way and now enjoy their newfound passion. It takes work and patience to learn new skills and eventually new habits. When the proper time and effort is given, we guarantee that you’ll see the changes in your child’s game. Our first and most important goal is for your child to enjoy his/her new way of playing, whether it leads them to future higher-level soccer or not.
