Registration for this program opens Wednesday, December 17, 2025.

This program is designed for high school athletes who want to level up their skills and boost their in-game IQ. Each session mixes focused teaching with real gameplay, so players learn by doing and can try new concepts right away.

The first hour introduces a specific game scenario and breaks it down through explanations and targeted drills. The second hour is dedicated to small-sided scrimmages, giving players the chance to experiment, make decisions under pressure, and put new skills into practice right away.

Coaches are active on the field during scrimmages, modelling techniques, giving fast feedback, and pointing out key details around leadership, communication, and smart decision-making.

It’s the ideal environment for U19 athletes who want to push their game forward in a competitive, supportive space.
