NEW OFFERINGS FOR 2024-2025 BLAST PLAYERS
In what is now our 10th year, we are officially adding TWO new elements we are confident will continue to separate Blast players and teams from any other club.
This year, after successful testing of the ARC Technical Training System, ARC has partnered with Next Level Performance Training to bring a soccer-specific training to Minnesota soccer players.
Blast will also be providing as part of our "Blast Classes", a Cognition Ignition courses to help players develop and manage the competitive mindset. From stress management to healthy visualization, Cognition Ignition will start players down a path to deeper success physically, and mentally.
The BLAST Development Program
It takes a dedicated player willing to be challenged both mentally and physically get the most value our of their athletic development.
The Blast places very high value in our high possession style of play along with our D.R.E.A.M. development philosophy to help them grow as players and as people. (Discipline, Responsibility, Effort and Attitude working together to Motivate today's soccer player).
We use proven Blast possession metrics to help players connect with each other that also clearly quantify our technical development progress. Tactically, we work with "players and layers" to establish insightful understanding of positional responsibilities on the field.
Our coaches monitor player objectives and provide regular opportunities to assess and reset their development objectives throughout three distinct seasons: Fall (Aug - Nov.), Winter (Dec - March) and Spring/Summer (April - July).
This development process keeps players actively engaged in making sure their personal milestones are clearly linked to the clubs goals and objectives.
Blast Documentation
We are often asked about certain ways we do things or our expectations for players and families. We have tried to include much of it in the documents below. But, as always, please let us know if you're looking for more. We probably have it ;) Thank you!
