Skills Institute at North County Soccer Park
Skills Institute is where soccer takes center stage. Rooted in child development theory, kids have a blast learning and improving technical and tactical soccer skills. Players will walk away more confident, equipped for their next right step, and ready for life’s challenges on and off the field. Players enjoy 30 minutes of age-appropriate instruction and 20 minutes of small-sided scrimmaging.
Classes meet weekly for 50 minutes.
Open Enrollment, Join Anytime!
Educate. Develop. Inspire.

Skills Institute Mobile App
To truly master a soccer skill, kids need to log additional time practicing in between classes or club practices. Our new app is a great resource to enable players to hone the skills they’re learning in classes through workouts they can do at home or at the park. The app is included with registration in Skills Institute and integrated into the broader program curriculum. Homework exercises that reinforce skills taught in class that week will be assigned through the app.
