What to Expect
City Soccer offers open-access training with a balance of fun and rigor to suit the level of players involved.
We fill gaps in local soccer by providing things that a club, school, or team is not typically designed to provide. We are not here to replace your team.
Our curriculum is designed to help American players where they tend to struggle. This is best inlayed early, while significant late-stage development is also common at Open Academy.
The majority of our sessions at will, meaning you choose when to attend. If you do not want to train today, please do not show up today. Sessions are open for any player to register and begin attending and developing.
Players should come with a mindset to train, learn, and improve. Once on the field, if you lose that mindset, you may step out ant any time. We expect to get off the field when you are not ready. Step in again when you are ready.
Come to us with a mind to build your ability and understanding. Our curriculum is best absorbed gradually by attending flexibly and often enough over time.
Some sessions are completely free. Others have a low cost. Sessions are offered by level to meet players at their edge, even top adults. Aspiring older players are definitely in the right place. Extra help is available if you need to hone specific needs. Goalkeeper training is available place all year.
We are here not just for players, but for parents. Youth soccer in this country is expensive and confusing — full of fragmented leagues, inconsistent messaging, unchecked clubs and coaches. Our participants come from every organization in the local market, and they talk about it. We understand the local landscape. We want to help parents understand and make informed decisions, as they attempt to navigate the local system.
Players bring cleats AND flats (indoor or tennis shoes), a water bottle, and proper attire for training. Come with a mind to train, learn, and improve. Once on the field, if you lose that mindset, you may step out at any time. Step in again when you are ready. Coaches decide how it is best for each player to join in, which may include playing with players at, below, or above your age.
Goalkeepers of all ages are welcome. Keepers train together with our coaches before open sessions, covering positioning, shot-stopping, distribution, communication, playing out from the back, and other key aspects of play, then apply what was learned in game-like scenarios during the full session. On top of specific training, our goalkeepers become much more skillful with their feet.
Parents are welcomed to observe. Only players, coaches, and designated personnel may step onto the field. We take this very seriously. “The field” refers to any playing surface or training area that is being used, that is typically used, or that may be used during a session. Anyone breaking this rule should expect to be asked to get off the field, in friendly or abrupt tone. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave for the day. Habitually breaking this rule will result in canceled membership. Teaching players is more important to us than the membership fee.
For the reasonable comfort and safety of all in attendance, recording of sessions is not permitted, nor are animals allowed inside the gates. Please do not bring animals to City Soccer.
Schedule changes and cancellations are very rare, while sometimes necessary. We understand many families use the programs as a lifestyle routine and resource. Others drive a great distance to train with us. It is necessary for us to remain as steady and reliable as possible. Any changes to schedule will be communicated directly through the City Soccer app. Please enable notifications.
