Seasonal clinics

Throughout the year, Aim hosts various clinics designed to supplement our already robust programming.  These opportunities often involve visiting college coaches, external training partners, former US National Team players and even our own alumni.

Additionally, our Aim coaches often lead clinics at local elementary, middle, and high schools.  These visiting coach sessions and after-school programs help grow the game we love.

Stay tuned for more info about our next clinic!

Spring offerings

Throughout the Spring season, Aim offers various opportunities for athletes, whether field players or goalkeepers, to receive extra touches on the ball. Although March is a quiet month with no club-specific training, we offer our athletes four Technical Training sessions (GKs, too). These sessions are limited to current and new Club athletes.

JUST ANNOUNCED:  Aim welcomes TWO Division I college coaches for a two-night clinic this spring.  Click on "College Clinics" below for details!
