SUMMER PROGRAMS AT LEFTFOOT COACHING ACADEMY

Join Now


LeftFoot Coaching Academy (LFC) is introducing three new programs taking an innovative step forward in educating, training and providing exceptional player development.  These programs are:  the LFC Summer Intensive, LFC Small-Group Academy Training and our Player Development Workshops.


The approach of these programs is consistent with our focus on creating great players through small group training that focuses completely on the individual player.  This allows for maximum flexibility, access and opportunity to train at our year round soccer, player-specific training academy.


As you have come to expect, the LeftFoot Coaching Academy will continue to provide maximum flexibility for parents and maximum access and opportunity to Academy students, all at the “one-of-a kind”, year round, soccer player-specific environment at the LFC Academy.


SUMMER INTENSIVE

The LFC Summer Intensive is a two week program for athletes to focus on soccer skills, speed, strength & agility. The program also develops a broader awareness of the game with video analysis, classroom instruction and leadership development skills consistent with the philosophy of LeftFoot Coaching Academy and the USSF Player Development Academy Guidelines.

Each day the morning intensive is offered for players ages 9-18 that will work with Christian Isquierdo and the LFC staff as they study and apply video analysis of technical and tactical skills in classroom areas, develop strength and coordination in our speed and agility course as well as practice their skills on the main Academy field.

Three Intensives are offered throughout the summer. See below for details:


Daily  Expectations

  • A maximum 1:8 player to coach ratio.
  • Morning Summer Intensives are held 9am-12pm noon
  • Each camp session is divided into our four distinct Levels: Level Y, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 advanced players.

1st Hour:  Players will have specific classroom instruction on soccer fitness, techniques, goal scoring strategies and leadership development skills based on their Academy Level and age. Players will have the unique opportunity to watch videos of themselves in action from previous day’s training and comparing it to professional and collegiate games.


2nd Hour: Players will develop proficiency in crucial Movement Skills and age-appropriate coordination.

3rd Hour: Dedicated to reinforcing what was learned while working on ball skills at a maximum 1:8 player to coach ratio on the main Academy field.



Fitness and activity loads will also be managed to accommodate summer soccer schedules.  At LFC Academy, players will focus on learning and skill development in an intensive environment rather than being forced to withstand the heat of ½ day camps similar to many programs in the state.


Program Acceptance

Limited to 8 players per Level for a total of 24 players per camp (Level 3 pending enough applications). Players will be sorted based on current Academy level and semester, dedication to the sport, and ability to continue with the Academy on a full time basis.

SMALL GROUP ACADEMY TRAINING

The LeftFoot Coaching Academy will continue to offer small group instruction to players with over 200 possible sessions this summer. Our Academy curriculum is now referred to as Small-Group instruction which allows LeftFoot Coaching players access to either a 1:10 full field session or a  1:6 ratio of coach:players in our soccer player specific facility year round with dedicated professional staff trained at the Academy.


Sessions are between noon and 5pm everyday.  Our unique self-service option allows parents to schedule semi-private lessons at their discretion.


Semi-Private instruction sessions are offered through 6 months  (25 week) or 3 month packages. The Summer/Fall semester runs from May through October, and the Winter/Spring semester runs from November through April.


All monthly payments require a credit card on file or direct withdrawal of a checking account. A one-time $25 administrative fee is added to our monthly package price.

Why Christian's a great coach!

1. He taught me how to Maradona around opponents.
2. He taught me how to bend corner kicks into the goal.
3. He taught me how to visualize my game beforehand.
4. He coaches me on how to handle pressure.
5. He never goes easy on me.
6. He made me only use my left foot for an entire week during a camp that was too easy for me.
7. He improved my technical skills (speed juggling, footskills, shooting.)
8. He met me on a soccer field 4 years ago and has kept in touch with me ever since.
9. He comes to my games to watch, then calls me afterward.
10. He doesn't get mad at me when I beat him. :)
