Preparatory Program
Curriculum-driven group training designed around individual improvement. Evening sessions all summer, no commitment to fixed dates, built for players who are serious about getting better.
a summer
camp.
Summer camps operate to fill a day; they run a variety of activities with lots of kids for an overall fun and social experience. That is not what this is. The Academy Summer Training program is an individually focused group training program built around a structured coaching curriculum. Every session has a specific learning outcome. Every player receives direct coaching attention. Every week they leave better than they arrived.
The difference is the level of intentionality. Sessions are 2 hour group training sessions. Our coaches are licensed professionals who deliver sessions that follow our development-focused curriculum. The training is hard, the feedback is direct, and the expectations are high. Experience level is not a prerequisite. Work ethic is.
High School Preparatory
Designed for players entering 8-9th grade and 10-12th grade. Whether you are preparing for your first high school tryout or your final season before college recruitment, this program meets you where you are and pushes you forward.
Who This Is For
Players entering high school through senior year who want to compete for a roster spot, improve their standing on a varsity program, or develop toward collegiate-level play. You do not need to be at a certain level. You need to be coachable, willing to work hard, and genuinely interested in getting better. Players from any club, school, or background are welcome.
The foundation of everything. All five skills are trained to the standard the high school game demands, with high expectations for execution and situational precision.
- Receiving under pressure
- Passing — weight, angle, timing
- Dribbling and 1v1 situations
- Ball striking — finishing, crossing, and distance shooting
- Tackling and defensive dueling
Individual decision making is the focus at this age; reading the field before you receive, understanding your options, and executing the right action under pressure.
- Scanning and field vision
- Playing with your head up
- Gameplay principles and their application
- Final third decision making
- Defensive positioning and recovery
The physical demands of high school and beyond are significantly higher than youth soccer. Sessions address the specific athletic qualities the game requires.
- Strength and explosivity
- Acceleration, deceleration, and change of direction
- Mobility and injury resistance
- Soccer-specific conditioning
Format and Schedule
Two sessions per week all summer long, held in the evening. You choose how many weeks you attend without upfront commitment to specific dates.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings throughout the summer. Each session runs two hours with a structured warmup, skill training, and live gameplay components.
Wellesley, MA. Central to the MetroWest area and close to Needham, Natick, Newton, Dover, and surrounding towns.
You purchase a session credit package in advance, then select which sessions to attend week by week through the Ollie Sports app. No specific dates are required at registration.
Sessions are capped to ensure every player receives meaningful coaching attention. This is not a large-group camp environment.
Required: cleats and shin guards. Optional: your own ball. Every registered player receives an official MWFA summer training shirt.
Players of any skill level or club background are welcome. The prerequisite is attitude and effort, not experience. Coed sessions.
The Session Credit System
How It Works
Before the summer begins, you purchase a package of session credits. Each credit gives you access to one evening training session. You then use those credits to RSVP for the specific sessions you plan to attend, week by week, through the Ollie Sports app.
You do not commit to specific dates at registration. If your summer schedule changes, your credits remain valid for the entire season. You can always add additional credits at a per-session rate if you want more sessions than your original package.
Larger packages carry a lower cost per session — the more you commit to your development, the better the value.
The per-session cost for adding individual sessions to an existing package after registration. Purchase your package first, then add more as needed.
Good for players with lighter summer schedules or those wanting to sample the program before committing to more sessions.
The recommended package. Enough sessions across the summer to follow the curriculum arc and see measurable development in your game.
For players who want to maximize the summer. Two sessions per week for the full duration of the program at the lowest per-session cost.
Why This Works
The quality of the training program is determined by how well it is designed and delivered.
Individual Focus in a Group Setting
Most group training programs are structured around managing the group rather than developing the individual within it. Our sessions are designed so that every player receives direct coaching feedback on their specific execution throughout the session. The groups are small by design and coaches are expected to know each player's development priorities, not just run the drill.
A Professionally Written Curriculum
Our coaches deliver sessions built around a professionally written curriculum that defines the learning outcomes for each training block across the summer. The warm-up, isolated skill work, combination exercises, and live gameplay all connect to one another and serve the same developmental goal. Every session has been planned and structured in advance so that the quality of coaching is consistent regardless of which coach is leading that evening.
Every session begins with skill in its most isolated form and gradually builds toward live game application. This approach allows players to develop true mastery and confidence in a skill before being asked to apply it under pressure. The goal is not just repetition but understanding so that what's learned in training translates directly into match performance.
