Coaching

  • Education (licenses): We believe in the continuous professional development of coaches. As part of our commitment to providing the highest quality coaching, we invest in US Soccer coaching licenses to ensure that our coaching staff remains at the forefront of industry standards and best practices.
  • Development: In addition to coaching education, we are committed to the ongoing development of our coaches in mastering our training methodology. Each coach follows a personalized development plan, which includes detailed analysis of training sessions and match performance, supported by objective data to track progress and refine skills.

 

Players

  • Individual Development Plans: Each of our players follows an Individual Development Plan (IDP) designed to enhance both their technical skills and overall understanding of the game. We believe that players are the drivers of their own development, with coaches serving as guides and support. The IDP is structured to help players set clear, measurable goals and develop the strategies needed to achieve them.

Passion for Soccer

Making playing soccer an enjoyable and rewarding experience fostering a passion for the game.

Pedagogy

We adopt a pedagogical approach that emphasizes the importance of decision-making in players’ development. Our coaches act as “creators of environments,” providing players with the space to explore various solutions to game situations, while offering guidance along the way. We firmly believe that empowering players to find their own solutions fosters a sense of ownership and control, both over their individual development and the overall progress of the team.

 

Online Portal

We have developed an online portal to help our players deepen their understanding and passion for the game. This platform offers access to training topic videos, detailed analyses of the world’s top players across all positions, and resources to enhance both mental and physical performance, including guidance on nutrition, sleep, and breathing techniques. Additionally, the portal features an extensive library of movies and books, providing valuable content for players to enjoy and learn from.

College Pathway

For many players, playing college soccer is a key aspiration, but the path to recruitment can be both challenging and time-consuming. To support our players, we provide guidance starting in their freshman year of high school, helping them navigate the complexities of the college recruiting process. Through our College Nights, led by our experienced staff, players gain insights into finding the right fit, effectively communicating with coaches, and creating highlight videos. Additionally, we organize games where college coaches are in attendance, giving players valuable opportunities to showcase their talents and increase their chances of being recruited.

 

 

Individual Development Sessions

Built into our weekly training sessions, players have on field Individual Development Plans (IDP) delivery in small groups to work on their IDP and to work on positional training. Both individual development and positional development are two crucial components of long term success.

 

 

Video Sessions

All matches played by our platform teams are recorded using Veo’s advanced camera system, providing coaches with the ability to analyze key moments in detail. Teams have access to a dedicated classroom space, allowing them to review and analyze footage. This setup facilitates comprehensive post-match analysis, supporting both individual and team development.
