A Stronger Foundation for Every Next Play
Children learn at different speeds. Some need time to become comfortable with the ball. Others already play travel or club soccer and want more focused work between team sessions. Next Play Soccer adapts each session to the individual player.
Our soccer training for kids on Long Island combines ball mastery, first touch, dribbling, passing, shooting and movement with game decisions. The objective is not only to complete a drill, but to understand when and why to use the skill.
Families can choose private 1-on-1 soccer training or small-group soccer training, depending on the player's needs.
What Kids Can Work On
The focus changes with the player's stage and goals. The coach can simplify the task for a newer player or add pressure and decision-making for an experienced one.

Both feet, close control, turns and changes of direction.
First Touch
