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: 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.  Players need to have a solid base to participate in this session where the activites we do take a high level of fitness, technical ability and mental concentration.  We do not recommend that beginners take this session. If you have questions specifically about this session you can contact Kevin Moon at: kmoon@spokanesocceracademy.com.
	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 encouragemen
	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.
	GK Academy (U15 - U19) This year our Goalkeeping Academy spends Monday and Wednesday’s working GK techniques as well receive situational training.  At the end of the session they will join the Advanced Academy to play in goal.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays, goalkeepers will meet and warm-up and then join in our Striking and Finishing session to apply techniques learned while being coached during this session 4 days of Training and application.  You will not find more reps or opportunities for goalkeepers in Spokane!  High School and Collegiate players only.
	Striking & Finishing (U15 - U18) This session is for the individual player to practice striking for both power and accuracy. We will put the players in game like situations and work on specific techniques that will enable them to see shots they might not consider. Repetition is key and our goal is to always provide as many reps as possible for each participant. Our last 20 - 30 minutes is dedicated to playing small sided games to full sized goals to allow players to try out the techniques taught while still receiving lots of chances to strike the ball.
	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!
	Salamander Soccer Camps (U3-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!!
