About the program

nexSTAR Soccer is a personalized soccer instruction program for girls focusing on individual player development and small group training.  The program will focus on 4 key elements that help to make the complete player- technical ability, tactical understanding, mental toughness and soccer specific physical conditioning and nutrition.  These elements will be taught within a positive, player-centered and motivational learning environment.  The program will include soccer specific training based on the player’s current ability, field position, strengths and weaknesses, and individual goals for improvement. The girls will be equipped with the tools they need in order to become confident both on and off the field and to be mentally and physically tough.

Technical Training- The program will be tailored to develop a solid technical base designed to fit each player’s personal and position-specific needs.  We will focus on footwork skills, receiving balls on the ground and out of the air, quality first touch and passing accuracy, quick speed of play, intelligent decision-making, proper finishing technique and 1 v 1.

Mental and Physical toughness- The mental game and the physical game are very similar in that the more you practice, the better you become and the younger you start, the better chance of success you will have.  We will teach our girl’s techniques to build confidence, short and long term goal setting, strategies to remain focused, teach the technique of visualization and how to become mentally tough.  Furthermore, we will teach the girls how to properly fuel their bodies with proper nutrition. Our program includes soccer specific fitness and speed and agility training in order to compete at their highest potential.

Tactical Understanding- We will teach what is expected in all positions on the field and how players work together within the positions as well as what is expected from them on the field.
