Beginning with a proper warming up before practices and games is essential for athletes' performance. The way teams warm up can vary, starting with our toddlers program which provides a fun warming up as long as a fun mobility around the field; that way kids begin practice with high attention and awareness. Finalizing with our Future Generation Program which provides a warm up focused and performance and injury prevention. Warm ups are essential at any level of playing, our coaches are in charge to provide an adequate warm up based on the needs of a specific program.

During early age, one of the primary aspects of a player's development is technique. The reason is because at an early age, kids are easily able to build a good technique. When we mention technique it is because we talk about basic skills which are passing, shooting, dribbling, controlling, and tapping the ball. It is true that those skills can be learned at any age, but the benefits of learning technique during early age are essential. As an example, we can say that if a player has a good basic technique, that player will be better at decision making. While players discover the beauty of the game, it is crucial to learn ball mastery.

Part of our soccer methodology is to include different types of games where kids are able to develop decision making. Depending on the age and level of the players, we utilize 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 situations where they learn to play in small spaces, and we also utilize the whole game structure to develop not just a game understanding, but also a team chemistry.

This part is essential after a soccer game or training session because it improves the player’s fitness and reduces the likelihood of injuries. We also take this time to talk to players about what they’ve learned, and what things we need to work on in order to improve. Cooling down is an important space during practice or games where coaches can have an interaction with players. When coaches interact with players, it allows them to get to know each of the players and understand if there is any emotional support needed.
