ABOUT

Soccer Genome aims to engineer elite athletes by teaching players how to apply and master the technical, tactical, mental and physical sides of the game. This goal is completed in conjunction with enstilling sportsmanship and true character principles within each player, so they leave SG as a better player and person. We are convinced that every child can reach their potential and flourish as athletes and individuals with the proper communication, instruction, and application of knowledge. How is this achieved? By providing an encouraging environment that cultivates PRIME (Passion, Respect, Integrity, Maturity, Enthusiasm) in the character of each child through the integration and application of technical proficiency and tactical intelligence.

 

We seek to foster an environment of both intensity and encouragement in our training. Soccer Genome will focus on improving each player to become better on and off the field through our unique approach to training and constant character development. We know our training to be complete, intense, both technically and tactically sound, while still ensuring that each player is continually growing in their love of the game.

 

To find a group of coaches that cares for each player and their family is rare in most sporting environments, but that is what you will find when you become a part of the SG Family. You will find coaches who KNOW each player, and are not just counting them as another number, but instead, forming bonds that we hope to last many years. Each coach will focus on finding ways to help players improve to reach small and large goals alike. You will see coaches laughing with the kids, while still being able to keep drills intense and focused. This attitude allows players to enjoy getting better, which we feel is a WIN WIN. We value each and every player that comes to Soccer Genome, and are constantly seeking to improve your experience as a family.
