Thank you!

We have scheduled around several of the larger tournaments on the west side of the state so that participants do not have to miss sessions to go to these events.  We have also made sure to give families time off over the 4th of July and have scheduled our sessions so that families have most of August to enjoy prior to school starting back up!  Get the best training and the most out of your summer by doing our programs this year!

 

Advanced Academy: (U16-U19) - SESSION FULL
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Toby Schwarz, the Whitworth University Track & Fied and Cross Country Head Coach, will be leading the first 45 minutes of 10 out of our 13 sessions.  He will be working on speed, agility and core strengthening for advanced athletes.  The last 45 minutes of each session will be a mix of technical training, Striking & Finishging as well as small sided games.  The best possible mix of soccer and athletic training rolled into one summer session! This session is for competitively advanced players that are preparing for their junior or senior year in high school or are training over the summer to return to their collegiate program. This year we are combining our Striking and Finishing and Goalkeepeing sessions into our Advanced Session.  If you have questions specifically about this session you can contact Kevin Moon at: kmoon@spokanesocceracademy.com. 

JUNIOR ACADEMIES (U13 - U16)
In this session we build on the skills learned in our Footskills Foundation program and continue to encourage players to take risks without fear of failure.  We also spend a little more time in perfecting the ability to receive balls out of the air as well as polish the player’s ability to knock balls with different techniques over distance. Confidence and composure in tight spaces is another area of focus in our skills training.  We follow this up by playing a series of 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 games to allow them to practice what they learn in game related activities and always try to end each sessions with 3 v 3 or 4 v 4 games to large goals.

Footskills Foundation (U9 - 12)
This structured training environment helps young players coordinate their movement in a soccer specific fashion.  We also introduce players to the skills necessary to advance their skill in the following areas:

• Passing & receiving
• Striking balls over distance
• Dribbling & cutting (emphasis on BOTH feet)
• Footwork combinations
• Dynamic juggling patterns

Our goal is to build each players confidence in this session and to encourage players to take risks without fear of failure.  Players should be free to create and take chances to see what they can do while receiving many repititions and lots of encouragement.

 
Kick Start Soccer Camps (U4-U5 & U6-U8)
This "camp" environment was developed out of our Youth Advancement Program and Soccer Festival that we put on in cooperation with The Inland Youth Soccer Association. It will involve an INTRODUCTION to basic skill sets but also be designed around allowing time for the kids to play fun games related to the skills that they learn.  This is a FUN FILLED session that kids absolutely LOVE!

Unique to our program:

• Music based training!!
  
• Daily prizes for each player!!
• Healthy free snacks for all participants!!

High School Girl’s Clinic (U15-U18 ONLY!)
This week long clinic will send you into your high school tryouts with confidence and having spent a good deal of time on the ball!  Each day will involve a foot skill related warm-up followed by training in the areas of Striking & Finishing, small sided games and full 11 v 11 play (if numbers allow).

This is a great way to get a little jump on the fall season by having been in a structured training environment before entering tryouts.  Come train with your team before tryouts start to get a little bonding going before the season starts!
