Skills
Our unique training curriculum blends player development with fun. Training will focus on fundamental skills such as dribbling, passing, trapping, shooting, attacking/defending, and more, which will be taught through drills and small-sided games. Athletes need to bring a water bottle and soccer ball to training. Shin guards are mandatory.
Beginning Fall 2022: Skills Training shirt no longer included in registration. New players must purchase a shirt for $10.
Returning 2021 – 2022 players: If your player has outgrown last year’s practice shirt you must purchase a new one.
