COLLEGIATE SKILLS SOCCER SKILL PROGRAM!
Collegiate Skills is excited to be bringing after school soccer to Natomas Pathway Prep!
Created by NCAA Division 1 soccer players Collegiate Skills will provide instruction on the
fundamentals of the game to students through fun games and activities. Through our years of
experience in the game we will provide students an exciting introduction to soccer and build a
base for further exploration of the game and sports in general.
Each day will begin focusing on a specific skill, taught with engaging games. From there, the remainder of the session will pivot to a scrimmage between students where they will be encouraged to try what they have just learned.
At the end of the six-week session, your student will see an increase in their soccer skills, but
most importantly will have a fun and safe soccer experience with friends. We are looking
forward to getting started on Wednesday, April 3rd and hope to see you there!
