Technical Soccer Training with Coach Shaya - Saturday Session
In these soccer training sessions we focus on building fundamentals and practicing our technical skills, both with and without the ball. With drills that include but are not limited to passing, juggling, shooting, and agility, we work on building key skills that transition directly to performance on the pitch in real games. As we head into the spring season, we will also be mixing in 3 on 3 scrimmages to put those skills to work in a game-like setting.
Coach Shaya has both national and international game experience having played in the German Professional League with FC Köln (Germany), KC Andre Cup Champion (MAPLE League), and Seacoast United (MLS Academy).
