PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAM

Our simple philosophy is that a better conditioned athlete will play a more technically sound game. Incorporating the Speed Strength and Conditioning Program Soccer Performance Program will help players get fit, fast and first to the ball. They will win more loose balls, explode past their competition, shield off multiple defenders, and have a better chance of an injury free season. We will improve your players’ work rate over 90 minutes of play. At the same time we will develop players who possess the skill and confidence to make a difference on the field. 

PROJECTED GOALS

We will assess individual movement mechanics both with and without the ball, in order to identify specific abilities requiring improvements. In addition we integrate speed, agility, quickness, balance, strength, rhythm and co-ordination in an innovative and fun manner in order to develop a player’s technique, skills, confidence and enjoyment of the game. Besides improved mechanics, our goal is to help players with their game knowledge to improve team dynamics on and off the field.
