Box to Box Soccer, in collaboration with Mindset Mentoring, offers a 10-session Mindset course. It is a structured approach to developing mental resilience and tactical understanding for young soccer players. Each session includes a 30-minute Mindset lecture, focusing on themes like goal setting, handling pressure, maintaining focus, and cultivating a growth mindset. This is followed by a 30-minute tactical video review, where players analyze game footage to better understand strategy, positioning, and decision-making in real-time scenarios. Each session concludes with a 15-minute open discussion and Q&A, allowing players to ask questions, share insights, and deepen their understanding of the topics covered. This format is designed to create well-rounded, mentally resilient players who are as sharp in their tactical awareness as they are in their personal mindset.

Soccer is a high intensity sport with a high risk of injury given the wide range of player ability, frequent changes of speed, movement and direction, and regular collisions. Any training day lost to injury is a day not dedicated toward your soccer development! Box to Box Soccer's injury prevention training program is designed to keep young athletes healthy, resilient, and performing at their best. By focusing on a combination of strength, flexibility, and technique, the program addresses common injury areas in soccer, such as the knees, ankles, and hamstrings. Each session includes targeted warm-ups, functional strength exercises, balance drills, and movement education to improve joint stability and body mechanics. Emphasis is placed on teaching athletes how to move with control and awareness, which helps to prevent both acute injuries, like sprains, and overuse injuries, like tendinitis.Includes:

• One hour session
• Digital or printed reference materials
• Contact information for recommended professionals specializing in injury prevention or treatment if further consultation is desired or required

COST: $75 (3+ players = $25/player)** For an additional fee, Box to Box Soccer can also arrange for Functional Movement Screening (FMS) through one of its physiotherapist partners. FMS is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in players to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement. Even though players are performing a sport at a high level, it has been observed that many of these same individuals are limited in fundamental movement, which can lead to the use of compensatory movements in order to achieve or maintain the level of performance needed for the activity. The inefficient use of compensation during movement will lead to poor biomechanics that limit gains in performance or that could be a risk to injury in the player. Corrective exercises can be prescribed to improve movement.
