Curriculum
The English Soccer Experience curriculum is based on the four pillars of soccer: technique, tactics, fitness, and psychology. All of our coaches bring a wealth of experience working with players in both England and the US. As a result, our curriculum is a dynamic mix of English Soccer Association methods and United States Soccer Federation methods.
Our 2024 curriculum has already been updated to reflect some exciting changes and developments in the world of soccer education!
We are constantly searching for innovative ideas that will challenge and encourage our campers to reach new soccer heights. We recognize that all players are different and that they will learn in different ways. Irrespective of age and ability, we take a unique, player-centered approach to coaching which places the campers front and center.
Because of our uniquely talented staff, we are able to offer soccer programs that will develop and challenge every player as they have never been challenged before. We pride ourselves on making every player better in an environment that is fun and exciting!
Every player will receive the English Soccer Experience Player Handbook which outlines in great detail the areas that are important to their soccer development: techniques, tactics, fitness, psychology, and nutrition. In addition to on-field sessions, the English Soccer Experience staff will run classroom sessions based on the topics in the Player Handbook.
