Technical Training @ STC
Build the skills to master the soccer ball
The SOCA Training Center (STC) is dedicated to helping soccer players of all ages and development levels reach their goals within the game of soccer. The first step in that process is the development of fundamental foot skills and proper technique. STC Technical Training Sessions are focused on on building those skills specifically. Sessions are fast paced, fun, and focused on getting your player touching the ball hundreds of times in a short period of time. Building foot skills requires hard work, repetition, and endurance, however these sessions are designed to make that work the most enjoyable hour of the week.
