Albany, NY –The Sage Colleges' women's soccer team will hold a soccer training program for children, ages 8-12. The dates are January 24, February 21 and March 6 with a cost of $100 for all three sessions. The two dates cost is $75, while one session is $50.

The 2016 Growing Gators Clinic on January 24 will take place at the Neff Athletic Center in Troy and February 21 and March Clinics 6 will take place at The Armory at Sage in Albany.

Clinic Objectives:

The Sage soccer training sessions are designed to provide participating players with optimal technical development and individualized attention.
The program emphasizes specific skills----dribbling, passing, shooting and 1 v. 1 moves. Through the use of small-sided games, the coaching staff will be able to focus on these skills and ensure that each player is honing them.
Come join us and improve in a constructive and exciting atmosphere!

Clinic Staff:

The Sage coaching staff will be leading drills and instruction to provide the players with top quality soccer education.
        Current student-athletes will be assigned to players so that they receive feedback and direction in real time, providing them with ample opportunities to implement the instruction they receive.
        Participants will be divided into small groups, which will be led by 2-3 counselors. The player to coach ratio is small in this scenario, giving participants as much individualized coaching as possible.

Equipment:

Each player is responsible to bring his or her own soccer ball, shin guards, and water.
