Question 1

What is the Iron Pitch 360 Training System?

Accepted Answer

The Iron Pitch 360° training system is designed to develop elite level soccer players with technical mastery and athletic ability that translates directly to the pitch. On the technical side, players get 100s of touches per session with emphasis on ball mastery, breaking pressure, and 1v1 ability. On the performance side, players get faster, stronger, and more explosive while developing proper technique and mechanics.

Question 2

What ages and skill levels do we train?

Accepted Answer

We are currently training competitive level players ages 7 and up. Players are grouped by skill level with training sessions offered accordingly.

Question 3

Do I need to make a reservation?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time. We have sessions available 7 days a week and there is currently no need to reserve or plan ahead. Upon your arrival, you will check in with our training staff to begin your session. You can use your sessions anytime during your monthly billing cycle, just remember sessions do not roll over to the next month.

Question 4

What are the pricing options?

Accepted Answer

Training sessions can be purchased individually, in a pack, or with a monthly plan. You can find more information about options and pricing below.

Question 5

Is there a long-term commitment for monthly plans?

Accepted Answer

No, we make it easy to come and go based on your individual scheduling needs. You can downgrade or cancel your plan at the end of any billing period, and you can always reactivate at a future date without having to pay an activation fee again. Please submit the online form for membership change requests.

Question 6

Do we offer free trials?

Accepted Answer

We don't offer free trials, however you can purchase a single session if you would like to try a session before upgrading to a monthly plan.

Question 7

Do we offer private sessions?

Accepted Answer

Some of our coaches may offer private sessions for players and small groups who are seeking an even deeper level of individualized training and analysis. Private sessions are provided by the individual coach, not by Iron Pitch.

Question 8

What should I wear and bring?

Accepted Answer

Flat sole or indoor turf shoes only, please. A water bottle is optional. Shin guards are recommended but not required.

Question 9

Do we have teams?

Accepted Answer

No, we don't have teams. We are club neutral, and our training should be supplemental to your club training regimen.

Question 10

What are the stages of player development?

Accepted Answer

As Arsene Wenger famously explained, player development is like building a house. Only with a strong foundation of technical ability can you start to build the rest of the house with physical ability, tactical understanding, and mental fortitude.

Question 11

How do we train player awareness and decision making?

Accepted Answer

Training player awareness and decision-making is about recreating realistic game situations and teaching players how to recognize, process, and respond to information effectively. We begin with unopposed skills and patterns, then progressively incorporate opposition and pressure in realistic scenarios. Throughout the process, players learn to scan and identify important cues, triggers, and patterns of play. By training these situations over and over, players improve their ability to process information and execute with confidence.

Question 12

What does an Iron Pitch player look like?

Accepted Answer

With consistent year-round training in our system, Iron Pitch players will stand out from their peers with technical mastery and physical ability. They can twist and turn with the ball at their feet, control the ball with precision in the air, and resist the most relentless amount of defensive pressure. They constantly scan the field, move without the ball, and receive and turn up field with ease. With a loaded toolbox of feints and turns, they manipulate defenders, break lines, and create in the attack. In short, the Iron Pitch player is a complete 360° player who stands out on the pitch in all phases of the game.

Question 13

Does size matter for soccer players?

Accepted Answer

The average height of an MLS midfielder is around 5'9" with players coming in all shapes and sizes. Time and again, smaller players like Messi, Pele, and Maradona have proven they can dominate at the highest level. Their lower center of gravity gives them an edge in tight spaces, allowing for quicker turns and better control. In the end, what really matters for a soccer player is explosiveness, technical ability, and mindset - not size.

Question 14

How do we train speed?

Accepted Answer

In the simplest terms, speed comes from hip flexion (forward motion) and hip extension (downward motion). To get faster, an athlete must produce more force in both directions. Our advanced speed program trains the muscles that produce the force while emphasizing the importance of proper mechanics and consistent exposures. Want to start learn more about speed? A great place to start is Les Spellman's trailblazing podcast - "Can you make someone faster?"

Question 15

When should kids start strength training?

Accepted Answer

Contrary to popular myth, a carefully designed strength program can start at any age. For our younger athletes, we emphasize light resistance and proper technique, building a foundation of strength and explosiveness for the future.

Question 16

Why do we care so much about hamstrings?

Accepted Answer

Apart from the obvious relationship to speed and explosiveness, studies show that youth soccer players exhibit strength imbalance of the hamstrings to quadriceps which limits overall performance and increases risk of injury. Good news is that targeted strength training can correct the imbalance.

Question 17

Is my player stretching enough?

Accepted Answer

Most team coaches incorporate some level of dynamic warmup before training which is very important for increasing blood flow and preparing the body for complex movements. What is often missing, however, is the static stretching for faster recovery, enhanced flexibility, improved athletic ability, and injury prevention. Not at Iron Pitch. We stretch after every session.

Question 18

How much training do we recommend?

Accepted Answer

For the most serious players, we recommend 4-5 days a week of training and games, with periodic breaks to rest and recharge. Our flexible and cost effective training system allows you to stay consistent and manage your breaks with ease. As we like to say, when repetition becomes conviction, that's when the magic starts to happen!
