Programs

Training that fits the athlete

Every program starts with an evaluation, so sessions target what your athlete needs instead of a generic routine.

Soccer

1-on-1

Full attention on one player's game: technique, decision-making and position-specific work.

  • First touch, ball mastery, 1v1 moves
  • Finishing and weak-foot development
  • Goalkeeper sessions available
Soccer

Small Group

3–6 players working together. Enough bodies for rondos, 1v1 battles and passing patterns, with plenty of touches each.

  • Great for teammates or friends
  • Competitive, game-like reps
  • Lower cost per player
Soccer

Team Training

Sessions for club and school teams: possession, finishing patterns, transitions and team shape.

  • Pre-season and in-season blocks
  • Speed and conditioning add-ons
  • Practice plans shared with your staff
All sports

Speed & Agility

Acceleration, change of direction and top speed for soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse and more.

  • 1-on-1, small group or team
  • Tested at the start and re-tested
  • Plyometrics and sprint mechanics
Speed & Agility

Measured, not guessed

Athletes are timed on day one and re-tested every few weeks, so you can see the progress in numbers.
