Elite Striker Program

Program Description:

This program will offer players the unique opportunity to develop their ability to properly strike the soccer ball to generate power and accuracy, initially moving on to finishing technique (1v1 with a GK) and types of finishes and attacking movement in and around the 18-yard area. This progressive program develops from sessions 1 to 5, and each returning player from clinic 1 onwards will progress into the next phase of Striker development. This is a highly technical program where techniques are specifically broken down in great detail to provide individuals with crucial feedback to generate maximum effectiveness and confidence to use in the game.

Open to boys and girls. You MUST register in blocks. You may not register for individual sessions.

Ages: U9 (2016) – U19 (2006)

Pricing: $175.00 per player (5 sessions)

Times: TBD (1-hour session starting between 5:00-8:00 pm)

Location: Bretton Woods Park (Outdoor Location)

WHAT IS SOCCER JUNIORS?

Soccer Juniors is Bethesda Soccer’s early childhood program. It aims to instill a love for soccer and some basic comfort with the ball. The program focuses on giving players the foundations of the game so they can apply them later in their soccer careers.
 
While technical sessions are essential, so is fun. Players learn to enjoy the game in an environment that encourages learning and play.
