Faqs

Classes are suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels for both co-ed (boys and girls) from 3 to 16 years old.

No, our private lessons are designed for all levels of experience.

Our professional coaching staff will follow a specific program, including dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting. Our focus is to prepare the player to enter a Travel Academy team.

We offer two packages:

1 private lesson

10 private lessons

Private lessons are 60 minutes each.

We offer single or joint private sessions (for e.g. siblings or friends).

As per our club’s weather policy, in case of bad weather conditions, we will notify you by email by the day after the lesson. Whenever we will face this situation, our club will offer to reschedule the lesson.

During all the seasons (spring, fall, and winter), usually we held private lessons at Turtle Pond (Central Park). The time of the lesson is to be agreed upon with the coach.

We ask that all children are accompanied by an adult during each lesson.

Players should bring sneakers and a water bottle.
