Quotes

“Having played professional soccer in the second division in Brazil and trained there for years, I was greatly impressed that First Touch Soccer (FTS) emphasizes the skills and first touch needed to play at any level. I've come up through local travel club teams in McLean, Montgomery SC and Gunston. Our teams were very successful because the coaches emphasized skill development, small sided games and learning how to control the ball, dribble, shoot, pass and make good first touches". FTS is a great opportunity in a positive setting for kids of all ages to learn these skills and enhance their game." - Vanya K. (Vanya is currently contemplating offers to play professional soccer in Europe)

“I have sent my children to First Touch Soccer programs and have recommended it to numerous friends. As soon as I watched a training session with Mitch and Vanya I knew this program was different than the others. The key element that separates First Touch Soccer from other programs is the “maximum touches on the ball” philosophy. That’s how kids improve their skills and game understanding. Maximize the number of touches on the ball to build confidence. While other programs I have watched place kids in lines waiting their turn, doing rote drills and making it boring, First Touch Soccer makes sure everyone is playing or touching a ball throughout the day. It is interactive, interdisciplinary and dynamic. FTS builds upon a progression of skill activities that mimics game conditions so that when the scrimmages begin the FIRST TOUCH creates the time and space to dribble, pass or shoot”. – Bruce G.

Background on First Touch Soccer

Most of you know me from being a referee over the past several years at your recreation or travel games or your sons and daughters attending a First Touch Soccer clinic. I have watched your players and team play for the past couple of years. First Touch Soccer can use those insights to provide hands-on instruction and positive encouragement. Try a clinic where the Director is there everyday, all day to train, teach, observe and play with the kids.

First touch soccer is devoted to improving the technical skills and tactical understanding of soccer for Boys and Girls ages 6 and up. The clinics are designed to improve dribbling, ball control, passing, shooting, two-footed and overall play by focusing on the most of important of all touches --- the First touch.

Scholarships are available to those in need of financial assistance. The game of soccer must be expanded to include children from all socioeconomic backgrounds. First Touch Soccer is committed to teaching soccer to youth in a constructive, mentoring and positive environment. Call to find out more.
