WHY

TIEMPO SOCCER

Mentorship

We aren’t just coaches, we provide support for our athletes off the field whether it’s recruiting, finding a team, or even just becoming better people.

Ownership

While we are always here to support our athletes, we allow them to problem solve for themselves. We let them take responsibility for their development.

Fun

We take our athlete development seriously, but that doesn’t stop us from having fun. Our program is a fun environment designed to foster friendship.

Fitness

This program is a great way to get your kid outside and active. From our sessions to at home practice our athletes are able to have a good time while getting exercise.

WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR

The junior soccer program is recommended for athletes 8-12 year-olds who love soccer and are looking to develop their skills
Whether they are just starting out and have never played with a team or are competitive club players looking to get better.

Athletes are placed in the appropriate training group:

FUNdamentals
Develooment

Training groups are determined by the player’s phase oil development. The two factors that contribute to this are:

Technical Skill Ability
Age/Maturity

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT

AT SESSIONS

Our primary focus is on individual ability for ball possession and retention. This means alot of ball control and mastering, dribbling and 1v1 ability among other technical and fundamental aspects of the game.
Sessions also focus on spatial awareness, helping athletes gain orientation in their control and technical skill. We will also work on athletic development including motor control, body weight shifting, reaction, and agility.
All sessions are ‘progressive games based’, meaning we use real game situations to teach for understanding. This allows them to apply all technical and physical skills they learn in game-like sessions.

AT HOME

Athletes will receive at-home skill work and accountability, helping them develop their passion and skill away from our sessions. This is both coach-assigned and self-assigned.

We believe for athletes to fulfill their potential they MUST learn to value time on the ball, AT HOME. Away from the team and social environment.

That said, we take a long-term outlook and keep things simple for the young athletes at home. The goal is to build consistently over time.
