Skills Institute

Developmental Soccer Clinic for Ages 5-12

Skills Institute is a developmental soccer program for children ages 5-12 years. With an 10:1 player to coach ratio, players will receive plenty of one-on-one attention as they explore their potential in the target areas of soccer. Skills Institute has a strong technical emphasis on soccer, but in addition, our curriculum allows coaches to adapt instruction to individual player differences. This means that within a group framework, each player receives personalized lessons that move the player to that player’s own next level of expertise, so that they become more valuable players to their current and future teams.
