Age Group Training (Fall Only)
Free for all registered STAR players, our six-week Age Group Training runs during both the spring and fall seasons. Led by club staff, each 1-hour session consists of:
30 minutes of individual technical training
30 minutes of small-sided games (3v3 or 4v4)
This program provides players at every age group an opportunity to train with and compete against other players beyond their teammates, fostering individual player development through more touches on the ball and improved technical skills.
π Details on times and locations will be announced at the start of each season.
Goalkeeper Academy
Designed for all STAR goalkeepers, our Goalkeeper Academy runs during both the spring and fall seasons. Led by the clubβs professional goalkeeping staff, sessions focus on the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects of this specialized position.
The academy gives goalkeepers the opportunity to train alongside other players, pushing each other to develop and sharpen their skills. Since traditional team training sessions often donβt fully accommodate goalkeepers, this open-access academy aligns with STAR Rushβs holistic approach to individual player development, ensuring more purposeful touches on the ball and technical growth.
π Details on times and locations will be announced at the start of each season.
