Shock Sports provides a structured, professional soccer training experience for athletes ages 9-19 in the greater Burlington area in Vermont. We focus on high-quality skill development and offer a clear pathway for player growth. Sessions are designed with a consistent curriculum and standards, supporting players as they progress through high-pressure gameplay scenarios tailored to their skill level. Our programs include position-specific training for field players and goalkeepers in every session, with programs dedicated to specific positions. We place players in groups based on ability, focusing our efforts on promoting development by creating an environment where every player impacts the game. This approach helps players become more confident and learn new strategies and skills to solve the game's most challenging situations. We are committed to building soccer players who want to make an impact on the game, be able to play multiple roles for their teams, and gain more flexibility and opportunities outside of Shock. Base Pass: All athletes participate in our Experience Gameplay Training program to improve their understanding of the game and integrate what they have learned into their personal style of play. Athletes are grouped based on ability, creating a competitive 3v3 and 5v5 gameplay environment where each player can make an impact. Group Training Pass: Our small group training programs are designed for athletes seeking additional training beyond their Experience Gameplay sessions. These programs include position-specific training, such as Technical Skill Development and Goalkeeper Training. Private Training: Our Advanced Skill Development sessions do not require an additional membership and are available on a drop-in basis to all active members with a Group Training Pass. These sessions offer private small-group training exclusively led by Kyle (owner + director). Sessions are designed to sync with our CORE curriculum, allowing athletes to focus on areas where they may need extra help. Most athletes attend regularly to stay on track, as this program works on an accelerated pace and covers advanced topics that can be challenging to grasp all at once!

We are not a team, but an independent company founded locally in the greater Burlington area, Vermont, in 2020. We ask our athletes to wear a Shock training shirt and avoid wearing apparel representing local organizations. This creates a neutral, supportive, and unbiased training environment. As we are not part of a larger team or organization, our focus is entirely on the individual athlete. Our Athlete-First philosophy drives us to center coaching on making athletes more effective, rather than fitting them into a specific system or team style of play. We train with a focus on future potential, prioritizing long term development over short-term roles on a team.
