| Our Winning Curriculum and Daily Schedule |
Our program emphasizes progressive tactical
decision-making and individual skill development. Three intense
daily sessions will help players improve dramatically through small-sided
games with tactical instruction, technical training and full-sided
scrimmages with goalkeepers. We maximize touches on the ball
while instilling the COS winning mentality in our participants. Players
will leave the program with a better understanding of positional roles
on the soccer field, nutrition for peak performance, mental preparation,
time management, and expectations for collegiate athletics. Each
player will walk away from this weeklong immersion playing dramatically
improved soccer.

comments, is a permanent record of his or her performance at the residential
program. It may be used by participants as a training tool and
may also be used by college coaches in recruitment programs and in
evaluating former participants for future counselor positions. Each
participant is given the original form while Curt Onalfo Soccer retains
a copy for our records. |
