In addition to our skills development camps and clinics, Soccer Elite provides training and coaching services to teams of all ages and abilities. Whether your team aspires to become the next national champion or simply enjoys playing recreationally, we can provide you with the appropriate trainer to meet your team’s needs and requirements. Moreover, we have a wide variety of team training programs from which you can choose and there is tremendous flexibility in defining and customizing the program specifically for your team. Here are the options available and how the process works:

 

Option #1 - Session by Session Training:

  • Contact Soccer Elite by email or phone and express interest regarding our team training program.
  • Discuss what needs and requirements your team has in terms of (a) the frequency of training sessions per week that you would require an Soccer Elite  trainer, (b) the trainers expected commitment and participation level at games and tournaments, and (c) the substantive soccer objectives that your team wishes to achieve during the course of your engagement of Soccer Elite’s  training services.
  • Depending on the responses given to the questions in step #2, Soccer Elite  will then determine what trainers fit your teams and needs and are also available.
  • If a match has been made, Soccer Elite  will then meet with the team’s coach and set forth a training curriculum that will best approach meeting the teams objectives in light of the time constraints, frequency of training and abilities of the players.
  • Fees range from $125---$150 per session, and are to be made payable to Soccer Elite  

For players and teams that would like a full time commitment from Soccer Elite , which means having an Soccer Elite  staff member perform all coaching and training functions (other than administrative or managerial tasks), we offer an extremely comprehensive program. There is a flat rate fee charged to the team that is all inclusive of soccer training and coaching charges for the entire seasonal year (excluding travel expenses, hotels, airfare, etc). Here are some details:

  • Training Frequency: 2-3 sessions per week.
  • Matches: An Soccer Elite  staff member will coach and interact with players at all matches, tournaments and events
  • Curriculum: Individual technical skills training, group tactics, physical performance enhancement, and the nurturing of the psychological aspects of competitive youth sports. Our skills program is second to none and is proven effective in preparing players for the technical demands required at the next level. Whether its working with the speed ladder, the rubber cords, running on the beach in the summer, or doing soccer specific plyo-metrics, each of your players will be getting the opportunities to develop their physical qualities and therefore improve their overall performance.

Ages U5-U9 - "Soccer-Academy"

This is where it all begins. During these years, Soccer Elite  trains a very broad base of players from all parts of Westchester County  and offers a wide array of general clinics and camps designed to give players a strong foundation to build upon. Emphasis is placed on the individual and much of the curriculum involves (i) getting comfortable with the ball, (ii) dribbling, driving and running with the ball, (iii) learning the importance of keeping your head up, (iv) development of self-confidence and 1v1 attacking/defending confidence, (v) game-related activities, and (vi) an intro to core fundamentals (i.e., passing, shooting). Players are encouraged to stay with the ball and to be creative.

 

Ages U10-U13 - "Developmental Academy"

These are the most crucial years for a player’s individual "Technical Development." Soccer Elite  places a tremendous amount of importance on developing exceptionally technical players and good thinkers on the ball, and these years have proven to be the most vital. Developing winning teams requires coaches to develop players that are winners. To develop winners, we believe that a strong emphasis must be placed on developing players that are confident in attacking their opponent and poised enough to control attackers while on defense. For these reasons, finite precision is demanded from our players in the areas of (i) dribbling, driving, turning, (ii) 1v1 attacking moves, (iii) passing and receiving with different surfaces of the foot, (iv) shooting, (v) checking movements, (vi) scanning the field, and (vii) other finite skills. It is expected that by the age of 13 that Academy players have pronounced themselves as ahead of their peers on a technical level.
