SAQ and Strength Training

We are excited to announce that we have added two new programs to our offerings at the Soccer Field Academy. Our Speed and Agility program is designed to enhance your child’s coordination and agility in small spaces, while our Strength program is aimed at building your child’s foundational strength to support their physical development in the future.

We believe that these programs will provide a well-rounded approach to your child’s development and help them achieve their full potential on the field. If you are interested in enrolling your child in either program, click on the links below, for more information.
