Small-Group Training 

Professional Training to Accelerate Your Development

Elevate Your Skills and Performance

Led by a UEFA A licensed coach, our small-group training program provides young players with supplemental training hours that match the intensity and volume of leading academies in Europe. 

​

This program emphasizes enhancing each player's technical ability, decision-making and physical attributes. Players participating in our program typically achieve performance improvements of at least 10% in their technical skills within 12 weeks. 

​

The small-group format fosters a supportive and competitive environment where players can accelerate their own individual development.

The coach focuses on your unique strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring you develop the performance attributes required to play professional soccer at the highest levels.
  • What is the difference between technical and tactical soccer training?
    Technical soccer training focuses on individual skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and ball control, aiming to improve a player's ability to handle the ball effectively. Tactical soccer training emphasizes the strategic aspects of the game, such as positioning, game awareness, team strategies, and communication, helping players understand and execute game plans and make better decisions on the field. Together with physical conditioning and mental toughness, both types of training develop well-rounded players who can excel in all aspects of the game.
  • What should players bring to the training sessions?
    Players should bring their soccer gear, including cleats, shin guards, a water bottle, and a positive attitude. Specific instructions may be provided prior to each session.
  • How many players from your program have successfully signed professional contracts in Europe?
    We have successfully helped players secure professional contracts in top leagues like the EPL and La Liga, and other European leagues. Additionally, over 100 players have obtained US scholarships, and over 20 male and female players have represented Canada internationally. Last year alone, we placed over 30 players at professional clubs in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Germany. Many players have gained invaluable experience training and playing at European professional clubs.
