The academy program is designed for ages 10-18. Special consideration will be made for players outside of this age group.

The freeze training academy is based on technique and skills building sessions. The purpose of the Academy is based solely on improving each individual's technical ability.

The first training session will begin at 9:00am, Sunday January 22, 2012.   Bring turf shoes or flat sole sneakers, (running shoes are not recommended) shin pads, water bottle, and a soccer ball, dressed for a soccer skills training session.   We would like you to pre register On-Line or respond to this email (Name, gender, age, t-shirt size (please specify adult sizes or children’s sizes), field player or goal keeper) so the training session is staffed adequately, and shirts can be ordered.

9:30-11:00
approximately 3, 25 minute stations of training, this allows time for short bathroom breaks, drinks, and rotation of groups.

Please note: each skill listed above will not be taught every week. Progression of activities will depend on the makeup of each group. Groups will be determined by age, ability, or both, whichever allows for the best learning to take place. Depending on the makeup of the groups, they could change weekly or remain the same.  

Instruction will be provided by the Coaching staff of the Women’s and Men’s soccer teams from St. Lawrence University, current and former players from both teams, and the FC Freeze Coaching Staff.
