Purpose
The purpose of Speed Soccer is to provide training that develops the various domains of a well rounded soccer player. We achieve this through:
- Player education; ensuring that each athlete involved in the development program becomes fully aware of the roles and responsibilities that each position on the field demands.
- Scientific performance training. Speed soccer works closely with Varsity House performance training to ensure our athletics show significant improvement in strength, speed and body mechanics.
- Player progress evaluations. Players are constantly monitored to maintain the goals and objectives of each individual enrolled in the training program.
- Individual training. An individual athlete follows a specific development plan as designed by the coach after player input. Each plan takes into consideration prior experience, playing level, player position and player goals (long and short term).
- Team training. Individuals working in the team training program are encouraged to express themselves in a number of tactical formations so as not to limit the individual to one style of play.
Mission
The mission of Speed Soccer is to develop into a year round training program for the serious soccer player living in North Jersey. We will endeavor to achieve this through:
- Year round training (individual and team) in a quality indoor facility that combines soccer facilities with a first class strength training area.
- Continual working with several club teams in the fall and spring, eventually extending into a winter skills program.
- Development and extension of summer camps in the Northern Valley. Adding an introduction to Speed Soccer camps week so that player education can begin at an earlier stage.
- Further implementation of youth initiative at the Middle school level to produce successful soccer players at the high school levels and beyond.
- Introduction of a Pre K program that will involve weekly clinics during the week days where youngsters can come and learn first hand why this game is the most popular game in the world.
Philosophy
The philosophy of Speed Soccer is to help educate and nurture individual players so that they can develop to their full potential. We achieve this through:
- A dynamic coaching/teaching staff that really help players focus on aspects of the game that are largely left unattended by many coaches in the immediate soccer community.
- Speed Soccer youth initiative. The initiative provides a timetable so players can see what they will be learning at the various stages of development.
- A cultivating environment. At Speed Soccer, all sessions are introduced at a high tempo to improve and encourage critical thinking on the field of play.
- Variety. Speed soccer provides players with a huge variety of training alternatives ranging from traditional skills training to modern scientific speed and strength coaching.
- Holistic approach. Players are encouraged to continually internalize performance regularly filling out self evaluations to ensure player development is indeed moving towards pre set goals.
