If you always wanted to learn how to play soccer, but missed your shot when you were 6 years old, Better Player is the organization for you. I always loved the game, but other sports always got in the way. Better Player taught me so much more than playing pick up games with friends ever could. they taught me proper form, drills, how to dribble properly, how to move on the pitch, how to communicate clearly on the pitch and many other skills. Better Player has made me an exponentially better player for my teams.
The coach Gianluca is very good. He gives us different drills every week and keep the session interesting and fun. He also listens to students and takes feed back on what we want to improve. My fellow students are all nice and we have great time while we work on our skills every week. I look forward to the session all week long.
Tryna play soccer but you’re getting rekt in rec leagues? Well, I was. I signed up for this program in February, attended 8 rigorous sessions led by Coach James. James is a gem of a person and all my classmates were extremely supportive and encouraging. Not only did I get much better at the game but I also made friends whom I play with every week which definitely beats playing with strangers. 10/10 best way to get (back) into soccer.
