START YOUR DAUGHTER OFF RIGHT

TEAM PRACTICE BUILDS THE PLAYER. THIS HOUR BUILDS HER TOUCH.

At U7, U8 and U9, a technical habit is either corrected now or wired in for life. Team practice can’t get to it: 30 girls, a couple of coaches, and the session is about shape, passing patterns and the game on Saturday. Nobody has a free set of eyes to stop the drill and fix an unlocked ankle or a lazy first touch. This hour is the supplement to her club week. Small groups, high intensity, and coaches who stop the drill when the touch isn’t clean. She takes it back to her own team on Monday.

WHAT WE WORK ON EVERY WEEK

BALL MASTERY

Hundreds of touches in sixty minutes. Sole, inside, outside, laces. Both feet, every week, until cutting on her weak foot under pressure is as natural as her strong one.

FIRST TOUCH

Not just stopping the ball. Cushioning it, taking it across her body, moving it away from pressure with the first touch. The half-second that decides whether she has time.

1V1 & FOOTWORK

Body mechanics for feints and changes of direction, taught slowly, then demanded at game speed. Technique without speed and confidence doesn’t survive a match.

COACHED BY WOMEN. ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.

COACHED BY WOMEN WHO KNOW THE STANDARD.

Every FGSU session is designed and run by women who played and coached at a high level. That has been true since 2015 and it isn’t changing. For a seven-year-old girl, seeing the standard set by someone who looks like her is not a detail. It’s the point.

MICHELE HOUCHEN

Canada’s longest-serving grassroots girls coach
Former Canadian Women’s National Team player
30+ years coaching U8-U12 girls • FGSU co-founder and Head Coach

Known for her skill and a relentless passion for raising the intensity of every session. What she’s best at is harder to put on a poster: she takes a girl who doesn’t yet believe in herself and shows her she’s capable of far more than she thought. Sessions are led by Michele and the all-women FGSU competitive coaching staff.

“SMALL TOUCHES. BALL CLOSE. EYES UP.”

QUESTIONS

Girls born 2018, 2019 and 2020 who are currently on a competitive or rep team. Any club. It is not a house league program.

No. This is supplemental technical training, nothing more. We don’t care what jersey she wears during the week. She comes Saturday morning to sharpen her touch and takes it back to her own team. Wear whatever kit you have.

A ball, indoor or turf shoes, shin pads and water. Arrive 10 minutes early. Parents are welcome to watch.

Sessions aren’t refunded, but let us know and we’ll do our best to fit her into another Saturday in the same block.

Drop-in is $40 when there’s space. Message us the Friday before to check.
