Our philosophy will be to challenge and encourage youth athletes with key fundamentals in sports performance depending on their age and sport.  Phase 1 (basic movements/techniques) to phase 5 (more technical/ advanced mechanics). The objective will be to develop each athlete’s mental and physical state with a modified training program that will last 8 weeks. 

Each session will have designed workouts / exercises geared towards the sport of soccer and specific positions. We will have high energy 60min training sessions that start with a dynamic mobility warmup / athletic circuit / core / agility drills / cool down. 

Over the course of our program, athletes will develop more explosiveness, footwork, speed techniques, core control, balance and strength/power. The positive mindset will be instilled into our weekly regiment while building on all of our strengths and weaknesses. Self-confidence and attitude is huge for our youth, and promoting this aspect of our fitness journey will be very important for them.
