NORFOLK SUMMER TRAINING PROGRAM
“Serious Training For Committed Soccer Players”
In Norfolk, 16 June and end August 1
In Va Beach, 15 June and end 31 July.
Smithsonian Soccer Academy Summer Training Program is designed to train dedicated soccer players and prepare them for their fall soccer seasons. Great soccer players must be trained all year and our program will ensure that players are physically, psychologically, technically, and tactically prepared to excel when they begin their club training, ODP, or high school seasons. The Smithsonian Soccer Academy Summer Training Program is modeled after successful European academy programs. Specifically, we train players in the same manner that Dutch, German, and Italian players are developed.
We plan to hold 21 sessions from 6:00-7:30 PM on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings at St. Patrick’s School in Norfolk . In addition, we will hold 21 sessions from 6:00-7:30 PM (3 times per week for 7 weeks) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at our Brill Field location in Virginia Beach . These sessions will be held for seven weeks in June and July. Participants can attend as many 42 intense sessions for the low cost of $390. The sessions will be fitness intensive (plyometrics, strength, speed, core strength and agility training), technically demanding, and tactically dynamic. Goalkeeper training will be offered at both locations and teams will be trained together (groups of 10 or more). We expect our Summer Training Program to be the most extensive and demanding training available. If you want to take your game to the next level, this training is designed to get you there.
Please study our attached summer training flyer and if you have any questions or would like references from past training participants, please do not hesitate to e-mail us at the addresses given above. If you plan to be away for a week or two on vacation, we will also prorate your total costs. We expect our program to fill up quickly. Therefore, please return the bottom portion of the attached flyer with payment as soon as possible, to ensure access to this exciting summer soccer training opportunity.
Thanks,
Kevin Smith
Objective: Develop technically gifted two-footed soccer players through advanced technical-tactical training, exercises, and small-sided games.

We are committed to developing individual brilliance in a non-team environment.
Summer Training: This is the most comprehensive summer soccer training program available. The training will last seven weeks and include 21 intense 90 minute sessions. The program will emphasize the physical (speed, agility, plyometrics), technical (attacking elements of the game), and tactical (movement, support, and penetration) components of the game.
