Training Approach

Training Approach

Our curriculum mapped weekly training sessions target the core technical and tactical fundamentals that every child needs. We equip the kids with an arsenal of skills and the confidence to grow. The CoaChing staff is USSF certified with national licenses. 

Games’ Festival

Training Approach

Games’ Festival

Along with the weekly training we have a weekly “Games’ Festival” where we cultivate a unique environment for our Empire Families. We split the group of kids up into 4 teams. They then go on to play each team once with the chance to win different awards and hit different objectives set by the coaches. 

Tournaments

Training Approach

Games’ Festival

We’re always looking for age appropriate competition for our players. Seeking tournaments around Upstate NY regularly to test ourselves against opposition!
