Soccer Instruction
At DNA Sports Center, we believe the foundation of every good athlete is speed and agility. Once an athlete has
attained those attributes, sports specific training is the next step toward truly excelling at their game. By combining
soccer skills instruction with strength, speed, and agility training that focus on muscle groups and movements that
soccer players use most, players will reach their highest level of performance.
Our Soccer Instruction Focuses on:
- Basic Footwork
- Turns, Cuts, Fakes
- Ball Control
- Ball Striking, Receiving, and Heading
- Soccer Skills While Under Defensive Pressure
- Combination Plays
- Finishing
- Injury Prevention
- Soccer Specific Speed, Strength, and Agility
DNA's experienced soccer instructors work with athletes of all ages to improve upon their technique and
understanding of the game. Great focus is given to the player’s physical and mental conditioning, along
with proper body mechanics.
With our youngest athletes, age 4 and up, we use fun, age appropriate instruction to introduce them to the
game of soccer. Once a general understanding of the game is learned, we work to help them improve their
soccer skills.
Our Soccer Program Includes:
- Individual Instruction
- Group Lessons
- Camps
- Clinics
