We are excited to announce that our Spring registration is now available. This is sure to be our biggest season to date. With a larger team of coaches after the addition of Nico Gonzalez & Matt Monaghann, a new website page, and a new and improved social media, we can not wait to see what is in store for the months to come. This is also the first Spring where we are running 3 separate programs for our players. We have our Partner & Small Group Training, Discovery & Grassroots. Currently across all 3 programs, we have 400-500 players walking through our doors weekly. We are speechless when we see that kind of number. Thank you all for the incredible support.
Our Partner and Group Training, led by Graham Fisher, is our largest program to date. It is our bread and butter and was the first program in our academy. In this program, we look to improve players technically with a high coach to player ratio. Everyone has a personality & a way of doing things on the ball, which means although coaching the entire group can be helpful, some players may need different guidance on specific aspects. That is why individual coaching is valued so highly by our team.
Our Grassroots program, led by Martino Bertolesi, is the future of our academy. Players between the ages of four and eight take to the pitch to learn the basics of the game and hopefully create a spark inside to grow a passion for the sport. We have currently trained 100+ players through this program and we haven’t even reached the one-year milestone yet. Again, an incredible thanks to the parents, players & staff for the incredible support as this program continues to grow.
The Discovery program, led as well by Martino Bertolesi, is our recreational program inside the academy. Here players who are new to the sport get the chance to try it out with weekly sessions. The reason behind the name “Discovery” is to allow players to explore, ignite and discover a new/old love for the game. Weekly sessions involve loads of games and activities that allow us coaches to show the importance of different techniques needed to take their game to the next level, if they so choose.
Registration for spring is bound to fill up quick, so make sure to check out the details for the program that best suits you. If you have any questions, you can also email us at admin@1upsoccer.com. We look forward to seeing you out on the pitch soon!
