Frequently Asked Questions
What is the goal of this program?
The goal of the program is to provide soccer training to all Community Club players at an affordable level, ensuring a solid foundation in both the players and their club.
What does my soccer player need to bring to the training session to participate?
Participants should wear appropriate soccer or sports clothing, such as shorts and a tee shirt or soccer shirt, along with proper footwear. They also need to bring an age-appropriate soccer ball (size 4) and a water bottle.
If we are on vacation and miss one week during the training, will that be an issue?
No, missing a week will not be a problem.
What is the difference between this program and the soccer camps that are frequently advertised?
Most soccer camps last for one week, where players receive continuous training for five days. This program extends over a four-week period, allowing players to practice at home with friends and family. Additionally, it helps keep players engaged throughout an entire month, alleviating summer boredom.
Can my child attend a camp and still sign up for this program?
Yes, participating in both will enhance their soccer skills. Like school, players may prefer different coaching styles, which can increase their comfort and learning experience.
If I coach a team and most of my players wish to sign up for this program, will they train together?
Yes, they will train together.
