Soccer

SONESOCCER offers private instruction for players seeking accelerated progress in their skills. Our sessions can focus on areas requiring technical development, or just improve the all-round game.

A Sonesoccer trainer will be personally assigned to the athlete based on the skills you want to focus on and the goals that you have for your training. Our trainers can help prepare athletes for an upcoming event such as a try-out or give additional fitness workouts, which are often popular in the pre-season. Sonesoccer trainers will even provide match analysis, with a program designed around the existing strengths and weaknesses observed in the game situations

Sonesoccer makes the following guarantees about their trainers and their programs:

• All trainers are certified with a "C" coaching license or above
• A year round service, with trainer continuity from year to year
• Full time, permanent coaching professional, not transient seasonal staff
