Craig Demmin Soccer Training Academy
Skill Specific Training
3TC training options fall into six overlapping categories detailed below. The 12-Month and 6-Month Membership options are the most comprehensive training packages. The Specialized Small Group Training options have more flexibility and less total commitment than the membership program. Skill Specific Training is for extra focus on areas requiring refinement and improvement. Lastly, the Hummingbirds Training is a fun program for our youngest athletes ages 5-7.
This is an option for players who may not want to join the full academy membership but would like to work on some needed skill areas. The small group skill specific training options are listed and explained on the member's page and are available in 24 or 12 session packages. Each session will cover intense training on that specific skill which will help the player and group advance their soccer knowledge and work on any techniques that may need to be improved. The skills specific trainings are also accessible to our full-time academy players through their membership. Please sign up for the desired session and Craig Demmin will place your player in the age and skill level appropriate group session.
