Private or small group training?
Start with the situation your player wants help with. The right format depends on how they learn, the feedback they need and the decisions they need to practice.
For soccer families
Find the answer that helps your player
Start with your player's question, compare the options and make a plan that fits your week.

A useful next step for your teenage player
A teenager starting soccer and a teenager playing club soccer may need very different sessions. Tell me where your player is now and what they want to feel more comfortable doing.
Help the first touch lead to a decision
If your player controls the ball in practice but loses it in a game, we need to look at the moment around the touch. What did they see, where was the pressure and what could they do next?
Build the chance before the shot
When a player asks to improve finishing, I want to see the whole chance. The run, the first touch and the decision can matter as much as the strike itself.
See the situation. Choose your response.
A position tells us where a player starts. The useful coaching question is what they see and how they respond as the ball, opponents and teammates move.
Know the price and the commitment
Choose a format because it suits your player and your week. Here are the session prices and the difference between a billing block and a training commitment.

Private lessons built around your player
One player, one coach, and time to work through the details. Tell me what your player finds difficult in a game, and we'll choose a useful place to start.
Small groups with a shared purpose
A good group gives your player people to learn with and decisions to make. We'll look for a useful match in age, ability and what the players want to work on.
Understand the decisions in your position
A position gives a skill its purpose. We can work on how a striker creates a chance, how a defender manages space, or what a midfielder looks for before receiving.
Give your team one clear focus
Tell me what your team is working on and where play breaks down. We'll choose a practical session that connects individual decisions with the players around them.
Before you book
Questions from parents
What happens after we send an inquiry?
Fran uses your details to contact you about your player, suitable formats, timing and location. You can discuss a free skill evaluation as a starting point. An inquiry doesn't reserve a session or require payment, and the appointment is confirmed directly.
Do we have to commit to 16 sessions?
No. Private lessons are $75 per single session and groups are $30 per player per single session. The $70 private and $25 group rates require a 16-session commitment, organized in four blocks of four. Payment timing and full terms are agreed before enrollment.
Can private training fit around club practice?
Share practices, matches and preferred days. We'll discuss a manageable purpose and practical appointment. After-school, weekend and summer requests are subject to availability, weather and approved space. Training supports development; selection and playing time remain the team's decisions.
How are small groups matched?
Groups have 3-6 players with compatible ages, abilities and development purposes. Tell Fran whether your player is a beginner, recreational player or club player and what they want to work on. A teammate group still needs a suitable match. No open place is guaranteed here.
What should my player bring?
Bring water, a ball if you have one and footwear suited to the confirmed surface. Ask Fran about shin guards and other equipment before arriving. The meeting point, arrival and parent observation arrangements are agreed directly; don't travel to a park based only on its name on a website.
How do weather and cancellations work?
Outdoor plans consider heat, rest and water opportunities, storms and field conditions. Unsafe weather, including lightning, can change a session. Coach cancellations and unsafe-weather cancellations are rescheduled, with refunds for services that can't be delivered. Give at least 24 hours' notice for private cancellations by phone or email. Groups permit one suitable makeup per four-session block without exceeding six players.
