Common questions about the program, training sessions, and tryout prep.
The strength training program will include a simple set of exercises players can complete a few times per week to build strength, confidence, and help reduce injury risk.
We will focus on teaching proper technique and safe training habits so players feel comfortable and confident in the weight room. The goal is to build a strong foundation now, so players can continue progressing as they grow and develop over time.
No. Chan Camp is an incredibly valuable training experience, and I strongly encourage any player who is serious about development to attend.
These sessions are designed to complement that experience. Improving technical ability, building better sprint mechanics, and developing strength beforehand can help players arrive at camp more prepared and confident. The hope is that players also begin to take ownership of their training and carry these habits forward beyond the summer.
Not at all. Players are welcome to attend as many or as few technical sessions as they would like. The same applies to strength training and conditioning work.
Nothing here is required, but players are encouraged to consider incorporating at least part of the program into their summer routine if they are looking to improve.
We're working to add password protection to the website.
The calendar includes session times, dates, and locations for easy access, and a password helps ensure that information stays within the intended group.
For technical sessions, all that is needed is a ball and cleats.
The strength program will begin with bodyweight exercises. As it progresses, it may include optional use of dumbbells. If that happens, guidance will be provided so players know exactly what to get and how to use it safely.
No. There are no fees of any kind.
This program is simply a way to support players we have worked with over the past few years and help set them up for long term success in their soccer development.
