Winter Academy Description

The Winter Academy provides a focused training environment that is age and skill appropriate.  Typically each training session will be composed of three main parts:  individual technical skill development, small group training activities specific to the daily topic, and small sided game play. Academy instruction is provided by SOCA staff coaches and each Academy is limited in size to ensure appropriate coach-to-player ratio.  Each player will receive a Winter Academy T-shirt. Each program will run for six consecutive weeks meeting once per week at the same day, location and time, with a reserved make-up date in the event of inclement weather cancellation.

Cost:  $135
This program is limited to 12 players per each Academy offering.  There are no refunds after the registration deadline of December 10, 2019.

There are exciting offerings in local gyms and at the SOCA Training Center in Ruckersville.   Sessions are challenging, fun and age and/or gender specific, with Travel-only options for advanced players.  We offer a Goalkeeping School series, an Attacker! series for U10, U12 and U14 players, a Footskills series for U10’s and U12’s, along with the super popular U6 Hot Shots and U8 Skill Builder options.  Check the specific options available for your player and individual session descriptions in your personal SOCA account.
