Freestyle
Freestyle is designed for players to expand their creativity and comfortability on the ball through large amounts of repetitions in dribbling sequences, learning new fancy foot skills, and dominating the 1v1.
- The more comfortable a player is with the ball at their feet, the easier it is to advance onto the more challenging aspects of the game. Mastery of the ball improves a player’s ability to impact a game.
- Music is used to help players develop rhythmic memory to the movements, almost as if they are dancing with the ball at their feet.
- A guaranteed 6:1 player to coach ratio gives our players the guidance needed to make mistakes and learn how to avoid repeating them.

Goalkeeping
Focuses on the fundamentals in footwork, saving high/medium/low balls, and injury prevention. We “dive” into mental strength, situational awareness, and decision making. All the techniques in the world are great to have, but knowing which technique to use when and why is a mandatory element of our training.
