Winter 2027 Youth Training Clinics

Santa Barbara Soccer Club’s Winter Training Clinics provide a great opportunity for young players of all skill levels to continue developing their soccer abilities in a fun, positive, and challenging environment.
 
Designed for U-6 through U-12 players (Birth Years 2021-2015), our clinics give recreational players the opportunity to experience the Santa Barbara SC training environment while improving their technical skills, building confidence, and becoming more comfortable on the ball.
 
Led by our club-level coaches, each session will focus on individual player development, with an emphasis on ball mastery, 1v1 attacking and defending, creativity, and decision-making.
 
Our goal is to challenge each player at their appropriate level while making sure they enjoy the game and continue improving throughout the program.

Each session will focus on:

  • 1v1 Attacking & Defending: Building confidence when taking on opponents and defending in individual situations.
  • Ball Mastery: Improving comfort, control, and confidence with the ball using both feet.
  • Dribbling & Creativity: Encouraging players to be creative and confident when taking on defenders.
  • Changes of Direction & Speed: Developing the ability to change direction and accelerate with the ball.
  • Decision-Making: Helping players recognize when to dribble, pass, or attack space in game-like situations.

Cost: $200
