We offer a 10% discount on the first registration for players coming from the same team (5 player minimum). We also offer FREE team demos for teams visiting the Total Soccer Academy for the first time. Call or email for more details.
- Is there a start & end date for the C.O.R.E. training programs?
-
NO
Classes begin on the day of your first session and end the day of your last session. For the best results, we recommend being able to commit to a minimum of 1 session/week, for 12 weeks.
- What are the class sizes for the C.O.R.E. training programs?
The player to coach ratio will never exceed 6:1. The main emphasis of the C.O.R.E. program is to give every player the individual attention they need to improve quickly.
- Will my child be placed in a group with other players of similar age and ability?
-
YES
Players are initially placed in age appropriate groups. Upon further evaluation from the TSA staff, we can recommend classes or groups that will more appropriately meet that player's specific needs.
- Do I have to commit to a particular day of the week?
-
NO
C.O.R.E. classes are offered daily which allows you to pick a schedule that fits your changing needs, even if your schedule changes weekly. Our unique scheduling system will ensure that your child never misses an opportunity to use all of their sessions.
- What equipment does my child need to participate in the C.O.R.E. program?
Each player will be given a FREE Total Soccer Academy t-shirt, which is to be worn with black shorts and white soccer socks at each session. Players will also need shin guards, a water bottle, and shoes (cleats, indoors, or turf shoes are appropriate).
- Will the sessions be catered to my child's specific needs?
-
YES
Each player's development will be based on our age-appropriate C.O.R.E. curriculum. Additionally, due to the small player-to-coach ratio, the TSA staff has the ability to address the specific needs of each player in the group during any class. Private lessons are also available upon request.
- Will my child receive an evaluation from the Total Soccer coaches?
-
YES
At Total Soccer, we believe that all young players should take ownership in their own development. With this in mind, players participating in the C.O.R.E. program will receive a player journal, where they can track their improvement in nine major technical areas, and over more than eighty specific exercises. Videos for all of these exercises will be available to our players online, at the Total Soccer YouTube channel.
- Does Total Soccer have a club affiliation?
-
NO
Total Soccer is a "club neutral" organization, meaning that we exist to support the local clubs and their players, not compete with them. Our programs are designed to help individual players, so that they can return to their club teams with improved skill and confidence. Additionally, Total Soccer policy prohibits our coaches from recruiting players that we train, or encouraging them to leave their teams.
