The Eastside Winter Academy is an age appropriate training program comprised of six sessions focusing on individual skill enhancement and small-group play in a fun environment, with the goal of developing skilled, confident and creative players. Our Winter Academy is designed to challenge players to realize their full potential.

Eastside coaches will spend time with each player demonstrating a good understanding of the individual tactical components of the game. Topics include dribbling, passing, ball control, shielding, shooting, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 situations and small-sided games.
