Next Gen

Our academy program holds indoor training sessions twice a week, aiming to enhance both skill development and game understanding. Throughout these sessions, our licensed coaches will focus on honing essential skills while concurrently teaching a deeper understanding of the game. The curriculum integrates a variety of effective teaching methods, including live simulation scenarios, targeted drills, and engaging mini-games. By delving into fundamentals within this controlled environment, our aim is to foster a well-rounded player capable of making informed decisions and contributing effectively on the field.

My child has never played soccer before. Will this be a good fit for them?

Absolutely! We welcome players of all skill levels into our program. Our licensed trainers will take the time to explain every drill/game and help your child understand the core foundations of playing soccer and being a great teammate.

Do I have to send my child to practice with a ball?

All of our trainers have their own equipment, including soccer balls, so bringing your own ball Is not necessary.

Is there anything that I should send with my child to practice?

Children should have their own water bottle and shin guards.

Should I stay for the duration of the practice session?

We ask that parents stay at the field complex during the session. We pride ourselves on building friendships and having kids outside of their comfort zone when meeting the other players in the session, so parents are not permitted on the field. Having parents in the training space makes this difficult to keep children focused on practice. However, we ask that you stay outside of the gate or stay close by in the event that your child gets hurt during practice or needs encouragement.

How do I encourage my child's growth?

We ask that you cheer and encourage your player in a positive manner from the sidelines and refrain from giving any direction or coaching while in session.

We find it is always good for parents to ask two questions:

What did you feel you did well? (Let them answer) Then ask, why do you think you did that well?

What do you want to improve on? (Let them answer) Then ask, how do you plan on getting better at that?

By fostering reflection from the player, they will improve quicker. The first question encourages them to replicate success and the things they do well. The second question asks them to focus on one part where they want to grow and encourages them to find a path forward.
