Frequently Asked Questions

Each practice will focus on a specific and foundational soccer technique (I.e. dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.). During the session, the players will enjoy practicing these techniques through engaging activities that are appropriate for their age and skill level. Our coaching method relies heavily on constant engagement as we limit activities which include standing in lines. 

Practice sessions are built around foundational soccer skills which are tethered to character traits. We will introduce these topics at the beginning of practice, and then discuss how to demonstrate them in life and on the soccer field.
