EXPERIENCE
Small Sided Soccer Gameplay Training
Gain the experience you need to impact the game!
All athletes at Shock participate in Experience Gameplay Training, our small-sided environment designed around fast-paced 3v3 and 5v5 games.
Players are grouped by tier and challenged through constant repetition, guided coaching, and objective-based scenarios. Each session maximizes time on the ball and sharpens real-game decision-making by applying technical and tactical skills under pressure.
All Shock Athletes train and compete in this program.

TECHNICAL
ADD-ON PROGRAM: Technical Skill Development
Technical Skill Development is designed to build the individual tools every athlete needs to succeed in real games. Players train in small groups using 1v1 and 2v2 formats to maximize time on the ball and challenge decision-making at game speed. Every activity emphasizes ball control, creativity, and off-ball movement—pushing players to execute clean technique while reacting to pressure. Sessions are structured around monthly curriculum that correlates directly to our Experience Gameplay Training program.
Key Focus Areas:
-
Ball mastery and technical consistency
-
First-touch quality, turning, and striking
-
Reaction speed and timing under pressure
-
Off-the-ball movement in attacking and defending roles
-
Creative decision-making in attacking, defending, and transition
These sessions are fast-paced, realistic, and designed to connect execution with match-day performance. Players gain confidence by solving challenges under pressure, refining both their technical skills and tactical awareness.

SKILL CLINICS
SPECIALTY SKILL CLINICS
Shock with a twist - Focused clinics that zoom in on the specific skills needed to complete the objectives in our core curriculum.
These one-hour, high-energy sessions deliver focused training built around a single skill, tactic, or concept from our CORE Training curriculum. Each clinic challenges athletes to dive deeper into specific techniques than they would in standard weekly training.
Designed for individual development, clinics isolate key skills outside of the gameplay context. Athletes sharpen precision, build technical proficiency, and elevate execution quality—all while experiencing the familiar Shock vibe with fresh skill games and new challenges. Specialty Skill Clinics are one-time events scheduled throughout each of our monthly training units.

60-minute sessions
