FREEZE TRAINING ACADEMY

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 training academy is set up in a way that all age groups can be trained in the same session.

Players are divided in groups by age, ability, or both. Three or Four different skill stations are presented in a 2 hour session. Each group will be in a station for 20-25 minutes, depending on what was taught during the warm up segment.

Skill Stations included in a typical session are: shooting technique and finishing drills, ball control, and learning moves to beat opponents 1v1 or creating time and space for yourself. Other skills stations consist of passing techniques and combination play, speed work, agility, and balance training, Technical training for Goal keepers by goal keeping coaches, and more.

Session I typically starts the last week in January, which corresponds with the beginning of the University's second semester. Session I continues until the University's Spring break begins in March

Session II typically starts up after spring break and ends the last weekend of April. During this same time period if new members are needed for our age group teams, try outs take place during this session.

Session III consists of training our teams tactically, and preparing them for scrimmages, games, and tournaments. Some of our different age groups may be training as a team during sessions I and II, depending on the coach, and tournaments available.
