The FORCE Soccer Academy is designed to provide training of developmental skills, technical advancement, and motor development with and without the ball to enable players to compete effectively at the next level of play.
Players have an opportunity to learn individual skills as well as the basics of small-sided team play.

Ball Mastery are the foundation of a great soccer player. OSU Academy players will develop a
soft first touch, quick and accurate foot work and the skills necessary to create time and space.
Players will learn ball skills such as dribbling, feints, passing, receiving, shooting and finishing, and 1 v 1 play with an emphasis on coordination, flexibility, fitness and creativity.

Confidence with the ball in pressure situations is essential to the mastery of the game of soccer.

Proficient ball skills get players ready to work with a partner to develop combination play.
Wall passes, take-overs and overlaps are some of the combinations each player will master.

Creativity makes the game of soccer exciting. We encourage players to experiment both at
training sessions and during scrimages. We believe in a fluid game where players are encouraged to
use their technical and problems solving skills to find new ways to be successful.

FUN is the most important Ingredient of our Academy program.

At the FORCE Soccer Academy we have high expectations for every player. We play hard and we
train hard but, always in a low-pressure, encouraging environment. Players who enjoy what they are
doing will work harder to achieve their goals.
