Parisi Soccer Academy to kick-off first week of April

The Parisi Spring Soccer Academy Program with Sports Performance Coach Gibby Wagner will begin Monday, April 4th and continue for 8 weeks.

This will be the fourth Soccer Academy program to take place at the Parisi Speed School and we are glad to see players return each time to work on their technical skill and speed. Last session, a record number of athletes signed up to train in the Atlantic Club Turf center once a week.

Over the course of 8 weeks, athletes work on a
number of different technical progressions and as each week passes, the level is raised. Each athlete leaves the program more comfortable on the ball and using both feet. We focus on the areas of dribbling, passing, juggling and shooting. We believe that repetition of basic foundational skills and moves is the best way to dramatically improve a younger player’s abilities.
