WHY PREMIER SOCCER?
Sound Football Club is proud to provide year-round Speed, Agility, Quickness (SAQ) programming to all of our premier soccer members. Driven by our own SAQ & Nutrition Specialist, Heather Alschuler, each Sound FC coach receives 2 in-person workshops to create age-appropriate, progressive, and flexible SAQ training programs tailored to each of their teams. Our club-wide warm-up and cool-down also employs basic SAQ principles.
Curated by our own SAQ & Nutrition Specialist, Heather Alschuler, our sports nutrition resources are meant to connect families with quality resources for fueling young bodies for sport. Content will be updated regularly, so check back for even more info, tips, and tricks focused on these topics: hydration, sports drinks, snacks, pre and post-game fuel, late practice dinners, and healthy choices away from home.
Each of our teams has 2 athlete leader representatives who attend monthly leadership workshops. The team reps participate in age-appropriate guided activities and discussions curated by our Sport Psychology Advisor Dr. Kevin Alschuler. The reps then take what they learned and share with their teams to explore ways to apply the lessons at the team and individual level.
COLLEGE PREP
Sound FC is proud to offer free programming to prepare players for college recruitment, headed by College Services Coordinator, Val Seid. Programming kicks off with an information night for players and parents to cover the process of college recruitment, how to select a school, etiquette for contacting coaches, tips about scholarships, financial aid, and more.
Our college prep services also include a special Q&A panel to hear directly from current college head coaches about what they look for and the process they use to recruit players. Additional information nights are held on the last Wednesday of each month to cover additional topics including:
