Players are given additional opportunities to develop their skills throughout the year. During the fall and spring months, we offer optional TTS sessions in addition to training to help players further develop their individual skills. During the winter months the TTS sessions are not optional and each player attends TTS one time per week.
The focus of these sessions is on individual technical components of the game.

The MAIN OBJECTIVES of the Technical Training School:
- Ball Mastery: Emphasis on each player working independently with the ball using both feet and all surfaces of the body. Dribbling, juggling and footskills are the main focus of ball mastery. Repetition is the key!
- Passing and Receiving: This will involve exercises to improve a player’s touch and increase accuracy.
- 1 vs. 1 – Dribbling & Tackling: Exercises which teach moves that can create space and be used to beat defenders as well as teaching proper defensive principles and tackling technique.
- Finishing: Exercises and games that teach proper techniques for finishing as well as nurturing instinctive play.
- Heading and Winning 50/50 balls: emphasis on proper heading technique and winning balls in the air.
- Speed, Agility and Quickness: total physical training to increase performance and prevent injury
Who should attend the ISC Technical Training School:
All sessions are open to all ISC U8-U18 members PLUS any family members, friends and/or potential new members. Friends of current ISC members and potential new members are encouraged to sign up to improve as a player and learn more about the Internationals and how we train.
What is the difference between the ISC Technical Training School and regular team training?
The Technical Training School sessions are designed to focus entirely on each individual player, rather than on the team. Players will be grouped according to skill level and physical ability.
Who will conduct the training?
All of the training will be conducted by Internationals coaching staff members under the guidance of Zdravko Popovic or Keri Sarver. Player to coach ratio will be 1:15 or less.
All Sessions will be held at Pinnacle Sports.
