- The Florida Soccer School | Group Training Series
Our Group Training Series is designed for players that are looking for additional training and learning opportunities. Our expert coaches provide private group training and individual instruction to help your child improve their technique and tactical application of the technique. 2024 CAMP DATES BELOW top WINTER SESSION DATES & LOCATION SUMMERFIELD 1/17, 1/19, 1/24, 1/26, 1/31, 2/2, 2/7 & 2/9 PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Florida Soccer School (TFSS) has partnered with Tampa Dynamo FC to offer players the opportunity to privately train in a group setting with trusted coaches from The Florida Soccer School. Our TFSS Group Training Series runs for 8 sessions and offers players the opportunity to work privately, learn and improve from a trusted TFSS coach. Each session is 60 minutes in duration. Players will be grouped by level and age and the instruction will differ based on the developmental needs of the players in their respective age groups. Training Topics: This program designed to teach specific technical (and some tactical) skills that will help your child improve, be more creative and confident. Topics that will be addressed during these clinics include; Dribbling For Control, Dribbling To Escape Pressure, Dribbling To Beat A Player, Scanning, Passing, Receiving/1st Touch, & an Introduction To Shooting. WHY GROUP TRAINING? TFSS Group Training Series allows players to work on specific technical and tactical aspects of their game while training against opponents. In a typical 1 on 1 private training session, players train only with the coach and do not train with any pressure from a defender. While this may help a beginner learn the basics, it is not an effective way to train the "competitive" player to compete at the highest level. Players struggle in games because opponents put them under pressure and ask them to solve problems, either faster or different than they are used to. The best players, at any level, are capable of consistently executing technically and tactically under pressure from opponents. Can your child bend the ball into the lower right corner of the goal? How about when there is a defender on them in a game. Can they still execute this technique under pressure? When you invest in a private trainer you should be investing in their knowledge and ability to teach/communicate. If the trainer never observes your child make a mistake under pressure, then how can they use their expertise to identify the breakdown and help teach/correct the error? Throughout our TFSS Group Training Series, a trusted TFSS Coaches will observe your child training under pressure and identify the specific technical or tactical breakdowns that occur. Once our staff identifies the critical area of improvement, they will explain this in a simple manner and break down the step by step technical or tactical solution. Our TFSS Group Training environment allows the player multiple opportunities to work on the identified area with positive encouragement and reinforcement from the coach. Our staff's number one focus is on helping your child improve and grow. At The Florida Soccer School, we believe this happens through detailed instruction and positive reinforcement in an environment where players feel comfortable taking risks and making errors. We want your child to make mistakes so our staff can identify how to help and make a difference! At The Florida Soccer School we recognize building a child's confidence is one of the direct benefits to hiring a 1 on 1 private trainer. Our TFSS staff is committed to building your child's confidence through meaningful instruction, positive encouragement, and by giving them the tools they need to succeed in practices with their teams or in games on the weekends. COACHING STAFF The Florida Soccer School's Group Training Series is being run in partnership with Tampa Dynamo FC. The group training series will be led by Coach Fred Dikranian along with coaches from TFSS and Tampa Dynamo FC.

- The Florida Soccer School | HEALTH & SAFETY
HEALTH & SAFETY INDUSTRY LEADER FOR LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR NEW SAFETY MEASURES BELOW LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR NEW SAFETY MEASURES BELOW COVID-19 UPDATE & RESPONSE The Florida Soccer School appreciates that our players and their families, like our committed staff, have been doing their part over the past few months to keep our country safe. Despite the uncertain times, we also realize that players are excited and ready to get back on the field in a safe and appropriate manner. We are ALL IN THIS TOGETHER and we want our players and their families to know that we will be ready. Players and parents choose us because they have grown to expect the highest standard of quality, organization, and soccer programming in an exciting soccer environment. As leaders in our field, we feel it is our responsibility to set a new standard. Our focus, during this pandemic, has shifted to being the leaders not only in soccer but, now in health and safety. In order to do so we have reached out to the health department and CDC through a 3rd party to derive best practices. Over the past month, with help of experts, The Florida Soccer School has created protocols and plans that will be in place at every one of our programs once youth sports and camps are allowed to resume. At The Florida Soccer School, we are committed to going above and beyond expectations and will exceed the guidelines set by our governments for safety. Our programming will look slightly different as we work to put protocols into place to ensure we adhere to CDC and local guidelines. Below you will see a working list of protocols and measures we are taking. Please note, we are continuing to adopt and revise protocols. Health & Safety Protocols and Measures at The Florida Soccer School Click an item on the list for more information >> Reduced Enrollment >> Temperature Checks >> Sanitization & Cool Zones >> Additional Staff >> CDC Restaurant Standards for All Lunch Areas >> New Hydration Station >> Cleaning of Common Areas >> Reduced Group Size >> Training Vest Single Use REDUCED ENROLLMENT The Florida Soccer School is reducing enrollment for each camp program and implementing safety and screening protocols to ensure a safe environment for our players. Reducing the number of players we accept will allow us to properly implement our safety protocols (Many of which are below). Limits will be based on CDC and local guidelines. TEMPERATURE CHECKS Temperature checks will be conducted daily upon arrival, for all players coaches and staff members. Any individual that has a high fever will not be allowed entry with no exceptions. If a player is not allowed to enter because of temperature checks then a prorated refund will be given for the time missed. SANITIZATION & COOL ZONES The Florida Soccer School has created "Cool Zones" to ensure the health and safety of our players. In order to enter "Cool Zones" all players, coaches, and staff members will be required to sanitize their hands with CDC approved sanitizer. Additionally, all items that are allowed to enter "Cool Zones" must be also be sanitized. For example, the soccer field will be a designated "Cool Zone." The player's ball, and water bottle must be sanitized upon entry into the "Cool Zone." Designated areas will be provided for players to leave items that are not allowed into "Cool Zones." ADDITIONAL STAFF The Florida Soccer School will be bringing in additional staff in order assist with all screening, cleaning and sanitization. While we are a team and everyone can help out, it is important our coaches are able to focus on coaching. The additional staff will help ensure the highest of safety and soccer standards both on and off the field. CDC RESTAURANT STANDARDS All lunch areas will meet current CDC and local guidelines for restaurants. Reduced enrollment and different lunch schedules, similar to at a school, will ensure this is possible. All lunch areas will be properly sanitized with CDC approved cleaner prior to the players use of the area. The lunch area will be sanitized again after each group leaves and before the next group enters. All lunch areas will also be designated "Cool Zones." NEW HYDRATION STATION During an intense training session our players will need to take a break to drink or refill their water bottle. The Florida Soccer School is creating a new look hydration station to ensure players can re-hydrate in a safe and controlled manner. For more information on our new look hydration station please contact us, 813.658.8377. CLEANING OF COMMON AREAS Any common area used by our players will be monitored and cleaned with CDC approved cleaner multiple times a day. REDUCED GROUP SIZE The size of groups will be reduced to adhere to current CDC and local guidelines. TRAINING VEST - SINGLE USE Training vests (bibs) are a valuable tool for a coach when running a training session. After each training session, The Florida Soccer School will take the used training vests, remove them from the field, and replace the used ones with new (clean) training vests. The Florida Soccer School has purchased additional training vests so that a training vest will not be reused during the same day. After each day all training vests will be thoroughly washed to ensure players have clean training vests for the next day. reduced enrollment temperature checks sanitization ad cool zones additional staff cdc restaurant standards hydration statin cleaning of common areas redued group size health and safety list training vest
