ACADEMY

Open to all U-7 to U-16 Recreational Players.
The purpose of the Texas HeatWave Academy is to teach special skills and
tactics to those players in the Recreational level. Through sessions
with our Professional training staff each player is exposed to new and
exciting aspects of the game. Our motto is: “LOVE THE BALL”

For U7-U16 recreational players that want a more competitive experience, the HeatWave
offers the Academy program. The Academy is additional skills and tactics
sessions taught by our professional staff.  

The goal of the Academy Program is the following:

1.  Ability of each player to strike a ball, over distance, with accuracy with both feet.

2.  To "cut" the ball with inside and outside of both feet.

3.  To protect (screen)  the ball away from an opponent, while on the move, with either foot.

4.  Turning with the ball with either foot and changing direction.

5.  To mark opponents goal-side and (mostly) on the inside line.

6.  To control the ball with either foot, thigh, chest, and head.

7.  To head the ball with accuracy over 10-15 yards.

8.  To beat an opponent 1v1 with a series of dribbling moves using fakes and with changes of speed and direction.  i.e. step-overs, Cruyff turn, Mathews, Scissors.

9.  Basic understanding of team play in 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 situations.

There is an additional charge for this program. The Academy offers once or twice a week
professional training with our professional training staff. You may choose either one day per week or two days per week of training. This is in addition to regular team practices.

On occasions, Academy teams will play in tournaments and friendly games against the other Houston clubs.  The overall principle of the Academy Program is learning fundamentals through FUN.  For more information, contact the Soccer office at 281-359-7280.
