Technical Sessions

JUNE TECHNICALS INFORMATION 

After another strong year of growth, these small group sessions are designed to help athletes sharpen their technical skills in a focused and supportive training environment. Each session emphasizes the fundamentals that drive game performance, including ball control, passing, receiving, shooting, elimination skills, and defensive technique.

With a maximum of eight athletes per group, each player receives individualized coaching and feedback tailored to their age, level, and personal development goals. The small group setting also creates a competitive and encouraging atmosphere where athletes can learn alongside peers and continue building confidence on the field.

How Registration Works: Please note that when you register, you are submitting your athlete’s availability rather than selecting a specific session time. Depending on scheduling and demand, athletes may be placed in either a 3-week or 4-week training block. Once registration closes, we will create groups based on athlete availability, age, and level of play. Because group sizes are limited and placements depend on scheduling compatibility, submitting registration does not guarantee a spot. We will confirm final group assignments and schedules after registration closes.
