Level Program (8+)

At NOW Soccer Academy, every player’s journey starts with an evaluation. This allows us to place each athlete in the environment that best supports their development, confidence, and long-term growth. Our levels are designed to meet players where they are, not where they feel they should be.

Evaluations help us understand a player’s technical ability, decision-making, physical readiness, and overall comfort on the field. From there, players are assigned to the level that will challenge them appropriately while setting them up for success.

Beginners

The Beginner Phase is comprised of an introduction to skill work that emphasizes proper technique, body language, and finesse with the ball. Students will master basic skill sets using different parts of the foot and touches on the ball to beat a defender in a 1 v 1 situation.

Intermediates

The Intermediate Phase will expand upon the skills mastered as a Beginner and introduce speed, agility and coordination concepts. During this phase, students will become proficient with at least 4-5 techniques that they master on their own. By combining skillwork with speed and agility, students will execute at pace and learn how to control their speed to get defenders to commit.

Advanced

In the Advanced Phase of training, students are able to execute various combinations. Due to the faster pace of play at this level, more emphasis is placed on the importance of the first touch and body language and their effect on the defender. Sessions are now tailored around small sided games where they can execute their skillwork in 2v2 and 3v3 gameplay.

Elites

The Elite Phase focuses on fine tuning the development of the individual player. We now combine skillwork, speed, agility, coordination, and gameplay, while applying these at full pace in an increasingly competitive environment. The use of peripheral vision, awareness of surroundings and exploiting situations to create opportunities for themselves and their teammates are mastered in this phase.

Training Content

Game Awareness

The first aspect of game awareness is applying skill work into gameplay. This is introduced in the Intermediate Phase of the program. As players advance, they will learn how, when, why and where to use certain moves on the field based upon different game situations. In the Advanced and Elite Phases, students should be proactive and know how to get defenders to commit and create a situation or opportunity for themselves or their teammates instead of simply being reactive to a defenders move.

Speed, Agility & Coordination

When players are fast, especially at a young age, their speed can be exploited. If not properly trained, they may never learn how and when to control their pace to their advantage. By incorporating skill work with speed, agility and coordination techniques, students learn to control their pace and use speed appropriately to get a defender to commit, while using proper body positioning to keep the ball under control.

Skill Work

The program introduces skillsets including dribbling, turning, receiving, passing and shooting. Drills begin at a basic level and increase in complexity and speed until students are proficient in both offensive and defensive situations during gameplay.

Weekly Training

To see results, you must commit to training. It is recommended that students attend training at least twice per week. Using the martial arts system of progression, students are evaluated prior to the beginning of training to place them on one of the five stages listed above. Each stage consists of 10 levels of progression in the skill work designed to build the basis for the next phase and is the building block for the next level. While some of the skills repeat in each stage, the pace, combination of skills, and use in gameplay progresses through the stages.

The time is now, the place is NOW.
