The Eastside Edge
Find your edge. Play sharper.

What is The Edge?

The Edge is a seasonal soccer training block focused on building skills, confidence, and game IQ. Players train in a structured series of sessions that develop technique, fitness, and creativity over time.

Previously known as Summer Academy and Winter Academy, this program had great impact—but the name often got confused with other offerings like Futsal Academy, Youth Academy, and other sessions. So, we gave it a new name and identity to better reflect what it’s truly about: giving players a clear edge over the competition.

Whether your child plays recreationally, competitively, or somewhere in between, The Edge is designed to meet them where they are and help them grow with purpose.

Why It Matters

Today’s game moves fast—and so must players. Success depends not just on raw skill, but on repetition, decision-making, and confidence under pressure. That’s where The Edge comes in.

In every session, players are grouped by ability to ensure they’re challenged at the right level. Our experienced coaches focus on the building blocks that translate directly to real-game performance—with a strong emphasis on fun, growth, and accountability.

Don’t lose your edge in the off-season. Build it.

What Players Will Work On

Each Edge session blends technical work with small-group play and game-like scenarios.

Skill Areas Include:
  • Dribbling, passing, and shooting
  • Ball control and shielding
  • First touch and body positioning
  • 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 play
  • Quick decision-making and soccer IQ

Players rotate through high-rep stations and finish each session with small-sided play that puts those skills into action.

Who It’s For
  • Ages: 6–14 years
  • All levels welcome: recreational, developmental, and competitive
  • Players will be grouped by skill level for appropriate challenge and support
