Elite Performance Program

OPEN TO PLAYERS FROM ANY CLUB

Elite Performance Training (EP) teaches complex technical soccer skills and soccer-specific movements. We apply both of these pieces to significantly improve technical ability, increase athleticism, reduce risk of injury, and most important, work towards becoming a complete soccer player.  Developing the complete soccer player takes a lot of work.  But there's no better feeling than when that work pays off.  For serious soccer players, it’s a lot of work.  And a lot of fun! We’ve designed a highly effective program that combines the crucial physical and technical soccer skills needed to develop the complete player.
