From Coach Sean Phillips...It is my belief that to enjoy the game and “get to their next level,” players need to be trained in all facets of the game, the most important being individual technique. Improved technical ability with the ball allows players to react faster to the constantly changing situations in the game of soccer resulting in better decisions and more success on an individual and team level. Training sessions are designed to teach individual techniques, skill and tactics through creative and motivating activities that will increase a player’s passion for the game.
