One of the best things about summer is that we have more time to get outside, stay active and enjoy our favorite activities. For a lot of Edmonton kids, that means extra time on the soccer field. Whether your child is just falling in love with the game or trying to improve their skills for the upcoming season, summer training programs provide the perfect mix of fun, fitness and development. Clinical Soccer Academy is a unique soccer training program designed to build the confidence and skill of a young athlete in a positive environment.
About Clinical Soccer Academy

They are an affiliate program of the Warriors Soccer Club so, you know their coaches and staff are some of the best in the city.
Their programs are designed to challenge each player at their appropriate level ensuring supportive long-term player development. The Clinical Soccer Academy’s goal is to stretch experience while maintaining a positive and encouraging environment.
Why Summer Soccer Training Matters
Summer break is a great time for many young athletes to work on their skills without the pressures of the school year. Summer training allows the players to get in concentrated instruction, unlike the typical soccer season where practices and games are scattered throughout the week. Having this additional practice time can help players with their ball movement, game understanding, and ensure they feel confident on the field.
Summer Soccer Programs
One of the best things about the Clinical Soccer Academy program is that players are grouped by stage of development. This is a much more affective approach as opposed to a one side fits all model. Doing this enables the coaches to focus on skills and techniques that are most appropriate to the group. You do not need to worry about your child being left behind or not feeling challenged by the drills and skills being taught.
We all know how important building technical skills are in soccer however, being able to work as a team is just as valuable. Communication is everything when executing game plans and the Clinical Soccer Academy helps you build your field knowledge to be as successful as possible.
