Spring Tryout Prep

Show up to tryouts ready, not rusty. A 4-week intensive built around exactly what club and school coaches evaluate on day one.

Overview

Built for tryout day

We've studied how clubs and high-school programs run tryouts. Every session sharpens the exact skills that show up in those evaluations: first touch under pressure, 1v1s, decision speed, and competitive fitness.

  • 4 weeks, 2 sessions per week
  • Tryout-format scrimmages every week
  • Position-specific coaching
  • Confidence coaching for big moments
