Question 1

About Shock Sports

Accepted Answer

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!

Our training schedule mirrors our 48-week soccer curriculum, designed to improve players ages 9-19. We offer year-round training programs primarily on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Our Website Calendar shows our projected schedule as far in advance as possible for families to plan ahead, we release our finalized training schedule every week via email, for athletes to RSVP their attendance.

Start Anytime
We operate on a monthly billing cycle, allowing you to set your own start date and continue as long as you want. You can pause and restart your training at any time.

Daily Schedule
We ask all athletes to arrive 15 minutes early for training sessions to connect with coaches and players, warm up, and be ready for the start of training.

Training sessions are 1 hour per program, with the majority of our athletes training 2-3 hours per day across multiple programs.

We offer 1-2 additional programs each week for athletes looking for more training opportunities.

Attendance Policy
We ask that all members RSVP their attendance by Thursday of each week so that we can create our rosters and prepare for our sessions in advance.

Most athletes attend regularly to stay on track with our progressive training model, which builds upon itself throughout the year, providing continuous development.

We do not require attendance and support athletes who play on multiple teams or other sports, finding flexible ways to stay involved.
