Pricing: Pick-your-Package Structure

Out of the 8 total weeks (4 hours of training per week), each family can decide how many weeks they would like to commit to ahead of the summer. This gives flexibility to those who will be away for part of the summer but are still interested in participating when they are available. If plans change and you would like to come to any extra sessions you weren’t scheduled for we can easily accommodate.

The pricing breakdown is as follows:

- Minimum Purchase of 4 weeks-

  • 4 weeks = 625$

  • 5 weeks = 675$

  • 6 weeks = 700$

  • 7 weeks = 725$

  • 8 weeks = 750$

Payments will be collected via invoice the first week of May. Payments can be split into 2, first half due the first week of May, second half due first week of June. Select option during registration.

Nightly Group Training VS Summer Camps

Summer camps can cost anywhere from 400$ to 1,000$ for one week of camp.

Summer camps are typically long days of unstructured play rather than properly coached and specific training.

Although you get lots of hours per dollar, the training is far less in quality as there is no real education being provided, the ratio of players to coaches is low, and all the training comes in a singular dense, exhausting, and unengaging week. Player and coach burnout as well as player injury are much more likely.

Weekly Training, although slightly more expensive per hour, provides a much more focused experience where the training sessions are coached with specific and intentionally designed curriculum.

Progress in learning is a function of exposure over time, and having weekly sessions ensures players are recovered between and engaged for each session.

Players will get much more instruction and individualized feedback with more time spent interacting with coaches.

Who?

35 total spots for rising 8th and 9th grade girls and boys with high school soccer aspirations. No level of play is required as a prerequisite, just passion and dedication.
