SOCCER 101 SESSION
Soccer 101 is a curriculum designed to take absolute beginners from their first kick, all the way through to playing recreationally or competitively. Focused on increasing comfort and familiarity with the ball, these sessions are perfect for young players just starting to explore the sport.
FUNDAMENTALS SESSION
Beginner to intermediate level sessions focused on establishing, reinforcing, and eventually perfecting the basic fundamental skills of soccer. Sessions will focus on ball control, skill execution, maintaining control at speed, and ball striking. Sessions will be tailored to players’ ability level and age. Younger players will learn through game-based instruction while more mature players will receive more direct, focused tuition.
GROUP SESSION
group sessions will be instructed similarly to the FUNDAMENTALS session but in groups of 2 to 4 players. The inclusion of extra players allows for a fun, competitive atmosphere and allows coaches the opportunity to contextualize the skills being taught by including teammates and defenders in drills and games. These sessions are invaluable in teaching players not only HOW to perform a skill, but also WHY, WHERE, and WHEN to perform that skill. Excellent option for groups of friends committed to improving as players.
College Pathway Sessions are designed to help players develop the soccer ability and physical conditioning required to play the sport at the collegiate level. These sessions are aimed at those players who have made a commitment to soccer as their sport going forward and want to maximize both their potential and their chances of playing at a higher level. Sessions will include soccer specific conditioning and intensive skills training focused on reinforcing player strengths, improving upon weaknesses, and targeting those skills pertinent to the player’s playing position. College Pathway players will also receive take-home assignments and periodic emails containing video breakdown specific to their training with CSA
COLLEGE PATHWAY SESSION
College Pathway Group Sessions will contain all the same instruction as the individual CP session. All players will receive take-home assignments and emails containing information deemed pertinent and helpful to their development. The group sessions allow the coach to include competitive games/drills while allowing players’ families to enroll together in an even more cost effective way.
