At Full Armor Soccer, physical training is a purposeful, structured approach designed to develop well-rounded, high-performing soccer athletes. Each session incorporates a very thorough warm-up, general physical preparedness (GPP), targeted accessory work, and individualized weakness correction all followed by a cooldown comprised of active recovery, self myofascial release and/or static stretching.

Our physical training covers all 7 functional movement patterns, 3 energy systems and 10 physical skills across 3 modalities.

Training is carefully planned around match schedules to ensure players peak when it counts.

Athletes build a solid foundation through foundational movements covering all key areas of development and performance.

We regularly benchmark progress with quarterly physical tests, measuring aerobic power, strength, coordination, agility, and speed—helping us tailor training and track readiness for competition.

At Full Armor Soccer, technical skill is treated as a powerful weapon on the field. We make skill development measurable and engaging through daily practice and quarterly testing.

Our comprehensive technical assessments cover essential areas like dribbling, passing & receiving, long passing, crossing, aerial control/juggling, and finishing with both power and precision.

Players are also evaluated on position-specific skills tailored to their primary roles, ensuring mastery where it matters most. Weekly training includes targeted work on individual technical weaknesses alongside dynamic team sessions that focus on tactical ball mastery and skill refinement.

This structured, data-driven approach ensures continuous growth and sharpness in every player’s technical abilities.

At Full Armor Soccer, tactical intelligence is essential for controlling the game and maximizing team performance. Our approach covers five key phases:

1. Possession: Teaching purposeful ball control that creates space, manipulates opponents, and governs the game flow through smart build-ups, switching play, supporting angles, and maintaining composure under pressure.

2. Attacking: Developing players’ ability to create and finish scoring opportunities with intelligent movement, combination play, creative risk-taking, and precision in crossing, finishing, and set pieces.

3. Defending: Emphasizing organized, team-based defense that balances pressure, coverage, and communication to protect the goal effectively through zonal marking, pressing, and tactical positioning.

4. Transition to Attack: Training fast decision-making to exploit space immediately after winning the ball by executing quick vertical passes, timely runs, and coordinated overloads before the opposition resets.

5. Transition to Defend: Instilling quick reactions and disciplined shape-resetting after losing possession to disrupt counterattacks, delay opponents, and regain control through immediate pressure and smart fouling when necessary.

This comprehensive tactical framework builds smart, adaptable players who read the game well and respond with confidence and teamwork.

At Full Armor Soccer, developing strong mental and spiritual traits is as important as physical skill. We focus on cultivating qualities that build resilient, focused, and purpose-driven players.

Mental development emphasizes traits like competitiveness, teamwork, discipline, emotional resilience, confidence, leadership, and a growth mindset. Players learn to manage stress, communicate effectively, stay composed under pressure, and maintain motivation and accountability both on and off the field.

Spiritual development nurtures faith, humility, integrity, servant leadership, perseverance, gratitude, and a deep sense of purpose rooted in trusting God. We encourage players to embrace spiritual disciplines such as prayer and forgiveness, rely on spiritual strength, and grow in joy and peace regardless of circumstances.

We care deeply about who our players are—not just how they perform. Each season, players engage in guided reflections on their relationship with Jesus, personal purpose on the team, motivations, and areas for mental and spiritual growth.

At Full Armor Soccer, we believe the best athletes are anchored in purpose, not just ambition.
