GOALS

• Provide the best platform to build a strong foundation for young soccer players
• Create individualized player development plans with metrics to track performance
• Train and treat players as professional athletes (they have to believe it themselves)
• Train hard working students who are confident to take leadership of their own development to become the best person / athlete they can be

GAME MODEL

Our game model is “possession with purpose.” We teach players to build from the back with and without pressure and to form triangle and diamond shapes to possess, attack and defend.

TRAINING MODEL

Nexus is focused on individual technique and individual tactic.

Our approach to develop a well rounded player is to train every player as a center midfielder, regardless of their preferred position. As a center midfielder, players will be encouraged to have great technical abilities and advanced soccer IQ – with a strong sense of individual and collective tactics to execute the duties of their role.
​
We will utilize soccer and futsal techniques to build a strong foundation for young players to become technical and skillful with the ball.
We will teach and encourage proper soccer and futsal techniques by phases of development based on age and skill level.
Our players will start to understand concepts with and without the ball and the importance of time and space.

Players will be encouraged to take leadership of their development to become technically, tactically, physically, and mentally ready.

Our focus is to teach players how to utilize individual technique and start working on individual tactic.
