Get ready to experience a completely new level of soccer at Plaza Sports Center. Our newly redesigned Toros Soccer Academy is here! Since its start two and half years ago, Toros Academy has successfully trained our players to develop the skills and abilities they need to become successful soccer players.
Our players have become so good that the time has come to make some changes. We’ve consulted with soccer experts and professional players to develop a new Toros Academy that will focus on developing and expanding the individual talents and level of each player.
We have initiated a series of positive changes for our program, all of which have been carefully evaluated by our team, says Plaza Sports Center CEO, Alma Caso.
This is us taking the next step and taking our kids to the next level. Here’s what you can expect with our 2.0 version of the Toros Academy: Play At Your Own Level In most soccer schools, students are divided by age groups.
We learned that students perform better when they train with others at their same skill level. With our new academy, our groups are based on the players’ level of play instead of their age. Players begin with their age group until coaches are able to fully assess their abilities.
They will then be moved to the group that is a better fit for them. As players improve, they will be moved to different levels so they continue developing their play. Amped Up Intensity We know that for our players to improve, they need more training opportunities and discipline.
This is why all of our players in Toros Academy will participate in three practices a week. Two of these practices will focus on drills that will develop their skills, techniques, agility, and fitness level. All groups play scrimmages as a team on Fridays to develop their teamwork and collaboration skills and so they can learn to play together.
New Toros Teams One of the biggest additions to our academy is that all players will be given the opportunity to be placed in one of our Toros team. We have different level teams: recreational, intermediate, and advanced categories. This will allow our players to play in a team that is appropriate for their level. This means more opportunities to play and improve.
Outside Tournaments Because our Academy trains in our own facilities at Plaza Sports Center, we have always invited our teams to play in our own competitive leagues where teams from all over the Valley participate. With our new academy, we will start introducing our Competitive teams to outside tournaments, says Alma Caso.
This will be beneficial for those categories because we will be exposing them to different types of competition and opportunities Specialized Coaches A great soccer academy begins with great coaches.
We have a new team of coaches that are equipped to take our children to the next level. Our new Toros Academy will have a specific coach assigned to each team. This will allow the coach to get to know the individual strengths and weaknesses that they have to work on for each child. Parents will now know who they can contact with any questions or suggestions they might have.
We’re so excited to start seeing the results of our new Toros Academy in our players. If you’re not a part of our academy, join us for a free two-day trial. All you need to start experiencing a new level of training is to show up any day of the week at 5:30 p.m. to try out one of our practices!
