SOCCER AT HOME
Good soccer players are made at team practices, but great players are made from what you do on your own at home. If you want to be a great soccer player, always have a ball at your feet!
| Rapids FC realizes that the threat of COVID-19 has impacted our soccer season considerably. During this time of social distancing, we have been provided a unique opportunity to get our kids to go outside and work on specific soccer skills on their own at home! |
|
| The intent of this program is not for players to meet up and do things as a group, however it is designed for our players to challenge themselves and improve on an individual basis. This program will strive to enhance the players individual technical abilities; as well as, expand their tactical understanding and knowledge of the game of soccer as well. |
