Frequently Asked Questions

Each practice will focus on a specific and foundational soccer technique (I.e. dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.). During the session, the players will enjoy practicing these techniques through engaging activities that are appropriate for their age and skill level. Our coaching method relies heavily on constant engagement as we limit activities which include standing in lines. 

Practice sessions are built around foundational soccer skills which are tethered to character traits. We will introduce these topics at the beginning of practice, and then discuss how to demonstrate them in life and on the soccer field.

We are proud to offer trained and employed head coaches for each of our teams!  This can include parents who are interested! Our vision is that they will not only teach your kids soccer basics in an organized manner across each of our teams, but also character and life lessons.

The purpose of evaluations is simply to help us build balanced teams. While the word "evaluation" can sound intense, this is a fun and low-pressure way for us to see players in action before we create rosters. Players can expect a quick warm-up followed by an organized scrimmage—we just want to see them play and enjoy themselves!

All players should have their soccer ball clearly marked with their name, a water bottle, shin guards, and outdoor shoes or cleats.
