Development

TST provides a comprehensive, development-centered pathway for female athletes beginning at age eight and continuing through high school. Every stage of our programming is intentionally designed to advance individual technical ability, foster intelligent decision-making, and support growth within a strong, team-focused environment.

Futures

Our Futures program is designed for girls ages 8–12 who are ready for more challenge as they transition from recreational soccer to travel-level play. Training emphasizes technical skills such as passing, receiving, dribbling, and shooting, while introducing players to game concepts and competitive habits. Futures athletes train alongside our travel coaching staff and experience the same professional development environment—without the weekend travel commitment.

Futures runs in the fall and spring at various locations across the city. Players train twice per week and participate in game days at least three times per season.

Phase 3: Competition

Phase 3 is designed to guide athletes through the most demanding phase of their development, ensuring they are prepared for elite competition and, if desired, the collegiate game. Training places a strong emphasis on advanced technical sharpness—first touch under pressure, passing precision, ball security, and speed of play—paired with deeper tactical understanding across systems, roles, and game management moments.

Players work within a structured environment that supports growth in key developmental areas: positional awareness, decision-making speed, transitional play, pressing principles, and combination patterns. Strength, mobility, and injury-prevention elements are incorporated to support long-term athletic development.

Phase 1: Foundation

Phase 1 is the foundation of our club. This program introduces players to high-quality technical training, essential movement skills, and the habits required for long-term success. Sessions emphasize ball mastery, dribbling, passing and receiving, agility, and coordination. Players develop confidence, creativity, and strong individual habits while learning to operate effectively within a team structure. Phase 1 prepares athletes for more advanced challenges in the U11-U15 age groups.

Phase 2: Development

As players transition out of the Phase 1, we continue to focus on refining technical quality while introducing deeper tactical concepts. Athletes learn to apply their skills in game-like scenarios, understand positional responsibilities, and make faster, smarter decisions under pressure. This phase bridges foundational development with the expectations of elite competitive play.
