ELITE TRAINING PROGRAM (ETP)
Summer 2026
June 30 • July 2, 7, 9, 14, 16, 21, 23
Players U9 and Up
CASC’s Elite Training Program (ETP) is an 8-session summer training series for players ready for focused, higher-level development during the off-season. ETP is designed for players who want to continue building technical ability, tactical awareness, decision-making, confidence, and physical skills in a Classic-level training environment.
Eligibility:
Players entering U9 or above for Fall 2026. Generally, this includes players born on or before July 31, 2018, typically entering 3rd grade or above. Players born August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019 may register only if they have been approved to play up in U9 for Fall 2026 and provided they are ready for a more focused training environment.
At least one season of soccer experience is required. Goalkeeper training is open to both current goalkeepers and players interested in goalkeeper development.
Program Focus
Players may choose field player training, goalkeeper training, or a combo track that includes both.
- Field Player Training: ball mastery, first touch, passing, receiving, dribbling, finishing, movement, and tactical awareness in game-like environments.
- Goalkeeper Training: handling, footwork, positioning, shot-stopping, distribution, communication, and goalkeeper decision-making.
- Combo Track: one hour of field player training and one hour of goalkeeper training each night.
