Why Indoor Soccer?

The “fast” gymnasium surface and confined space, combined with the proven and fun COS curriculum, promote dramatic improvement in foot speed and ball handling skills. Our sessions are comprised of stations. Each station is designed to accomplish different objectives. Two stations are devoted to improving ball control and the third is devoted to playing small-sided games with boundaries in order to maximize skill development. Please note, some sessions may have fewer stations due to numbers, but the focus remains heavily on ball control reinforced with small-sided games.

Players that choose the 12-week option will experience a full technical progression.
