​ABOUT OUR PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS

The professional trainers for the player clinics are from two organizations:


- Challenger Sports

- UK International Soccer


The trainers from each organization have been hired to deliver these player clinics as impartial professionals. The trainers are primarily from the UK and are hired to work in the USA for their expertise and commitment to the game of Soccer. They will all follow the same practice themes and plans, tailored to the level of player in the group. 


Groups will be predetermined by the registration list and players split primarily by age at first. We are open to grouping players on the same team / friends / siblings - just notify the field marshal and the coach of the group.


Check in begins at 12.45pm at the field with Field Marshal. They will have the bright yellow pinnie on with SFYS on it.


All of the player clinics will

  • question players to understand the solution to the challenges  they face
  • provide positive feedback and encouragement at every step of the learning process
  • encourage players to communicate and think for themselves
  • challenge players to compete against themselves and to focus on improvement
  • use lots of small-sided games to focus on the clinic topic.


We welcome your feedback and please email Lee with your comments.
