IRST ACADEMY, LLC
ODESSA, FLORIDA

For this to happen players must make use of every movement with and without the ball. Thus our technical philosophy always attacks time and consistency. How we move without the ball is the most vital element. If we want to be quick players we have to blend running patterns with our techniques with the ball. If we break our running patterns to often to carry out passing, shooting, dribbling, and receiving then we risk the chance of slowing down with the ball and end up breaking our normal movement patterns. When we do things we consciously have our players shoot, cross, pass, receive, and dribble using the movements that they already use. This results in less time preparing to shoot, pass, dribble, receive, and cross. Our Mission Our mission is to give players the opportunity to hone and nurture their technical abilities uninterrupted. We believe that within a team the strength comes from the individual player’s capabilities. We believe in superior technique and knowledge so that not only the individuals on the field will succeed but also to improve the quality of the group. With technical superiority comes more time and space and with both we can allocate more thought and concentration into our tactical decision making. Helped improve techniques of players of all levels As a result, most youth players are inadequately prepared to pursue soccer at the collegiate level or possibly beyond. At IRST, we branched out to create a curriculum and training environment that valued the individual player and his/her technical abilities and mindset. After years of performing individual training our philosophy and vision is as strong as ever. We have trained youth players to professional players in MLS, USL Pro, NASL, Finnish Veikkausliiga, Danish Superliga, and the Swedish Superettan as well as all levels of college. Our privately owned facility was built by hand and with both natural grass and artificial surfaces. This is one of the many advantages we offer our athletes. Privacy, zero distractions and top of the line equipment. Train like a pro, feel like a pro, play like a pro. Come visit us and watch any of our sessions, we are sure you’ll be hooked too!
