GOALKEEPERS: Training sessions will each focus on specific physical, mental tactical and technical elements of the position. They will include communication, crosses, footwork, diving, distribution, angle play, defensive formations/awareness and more. Each session will have a warm up, focus topic, and specific drills. I will focus on the proper technique of the skill areas and will provide feedback for the player to grow.

FIELD PLAYERS:
Warm Up, Agility and Footwork, Technical First Touch Skills, Specific Topics of Play (Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, First Touch, Air Play, Fiteness, Ect). I craft the session based on feedback provided.

*due to the current conditions, all coaching sessions will practice social distances. Coach and athletes will be 6-10 yards from others. Some athletes worry that they will not be able to get the same practice this summer and I want to be able to continue growing their skills, fitness and overall goals they have set. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you!

Coach Shay is excellent! My daughter leaves her GK sessions saying how beneficial they are. Shay excels in explaining what she wants to see and how to achieve it. The one on one training has been just what she needs!

My daughter really enjoyed her and can't wait to train again .

This was our first session with Coach Shay. The session was well thought out with great drills. My daughter enjoyed the drills and the Coach. She was positive and encouraging the entire time. We will do another session soon.

Coach Shay assessed both what my daughter wanted to work on and what she needed to work on, and crafted a training sessions to help her get prepared for high school tryouts. My daughter is continuing to do some of the drills on her own. I think it will be time and money well-spent.

My daughter was very happy after her first session with Coach Shay. She was fast to respond to our request for an initial session and flexible on locations. We very much look forward to continuing our work with her.

Solid and no-nonsense approach to coaching. Daughter loved it and we have now signed up for more sessions!

If I could give more stars I would!
We had one session for our 8 year old daughter and she came home and practiced exactly what Coach Shay taught her.
She remembered exactly what Coach Shay told her to practice and that is because she modeled the skill, practiced the skill and then asked our daughter to explain what she learned. Coaching at it’s best! We are incredibly impressed with her and thankful we found her on this site!

She is a great coach, I liked how she incorporated fitness into most of my drills and also helped with my shooting form. Look forward to working with her in the future.

Coach Shay did a great job for our son! She is punctual, professional and friendly. Our son said that the coaching was challenging, informational and exciting. He enjoyed Coach Shay's positivity and directions. He said that her feedback was very helpful and allowed him to focus on the areas that he needed improvement on. We will defiantly book Coach Shay for more sessions.
