About the Program

A Training Environment
Built for Real Development

Summer is where good players become great ones. FFA is a structured two-week intensive for competitive players ready to sharpen their game before the season begins. Small groups, professional coaching, premium indoor facility. No filler. Just football.

⚽
Technical Focus
75% of every session is dedicated to technical work — first touch, passing, movement, and ball control.
🧠
Tactical Understanding
Players learn to read the game, not just react to it. Sessions build decision-making alongside physical skill.
👥
Small Groups
Maximum 20 players per cycle. Every player gets real coaching time, not just field time.
📈
Long-Term Thinking
We develop players, not results. Skills built here carry into the next season and beyond.

Where We Train

Marin Indoor Soccer
at Skysports Center

440 Smith Ranch Road · San Rafael, CA 94903

Fully climate-controlled. No heat, no sun exposure, no weather cancellations — ever.
