Soccer is considered by many the most physically demanding of all teams sports. For ages U14 and older, a player’s level of physical fitness and performance are intrinsically related and therefore must be developed at all times. The pre-season however, is a time where the "elite" players separate themselves from the rest. This high school training program is professionally designed to enhance overall player performance and technical ability. 

Sessions focus on three critical game aspects; technical development, tactical development and conditioning. Utilizing soccer-specific plyometric exercises, SPI is currently providing advanced players the winning edge!

Over 150 high school players from all over Northern and Western VA participated in the program held early in 2008. All of them claimed an increase in their strength, speed, stamina and technical ability as they prepared for the 2008 high school season. Some of the high schools represented in 2008 were Chantilly, Herndon, Paul VI, Oakton and Freedom HS.

The program is staffed by professional trainers (USSF, UEFA, NSCAA, KNVB-Dutch Football Association and AFA-Argentine Football Association).
