Developing a complete soccer player is quite complex as there are numerous aspects that players must focus on developing at the same time in order to achieve their maximum potential all year long. The main focus of the Elite Program is to develop an understanding that the race is a marathon and not a sprint. This process involves a bigger understanding of the picture trying to be painted and what should be your primary area of focus at any given time throughout the course of the year. Once their is a full understanding of the goals required to maximize your potential, the best way to cover the ground needed is through Periodization.
Periodization is what sets the Elite Program above all other training methods. Through periodization players will spend various weeks on specific topics which are aligned with their Year-Round Travel Season. These topics will also be revisited continually in order to combine all the aspects into achieving one goal - maximizing a player's potential. Components such as Core Strength, Fitness, Endurance & Speed are staples in this program which ensures maximizing year round growth and long term success.
The Elite Program also includes Specialized Private Group Training which are specific to a players ability level. These Sessions are included in addition to a players regular group training and are tailored to provide players with challenging sessions which will increase players ability to take on information and advance their skillset. These sessions are scheduled 2 times per month directly with the Staff.
