Training Programs

One-on-One Private Sessions

Train directly with coach Taylor for the ultimate soccer coaching experience. Not only do players get a higher quantity of reps, but they get the best quality reps. Coach Taylor has the knowledge and skills to replicate appropriately challenging scenarios for players at their level. For example, receiving a pass at the correct time and place can make a huge difference in one's quality of practice. Coach Taylor customizes sessions specifically for the individual based on their personal goals and as part of a larger customized plan.

Semi-Private Sessions

Pair up with a friend or two, and join Coach Taylor for a highly customized training session. You can expect personalized demonstrations, focused attention, and constant feedback. Coach Taylor knows when it is appropriate to guide training with a partner, and when to step in for some personal reps. This method of training also enables players to practice more complex game situations involving several people.

Small Group Sessions

Picture a small group break out session at a large team practice. Players work together on technique or strategy with the full attention of the coach. Coach Taylor uses his extensive knowledge of team situations to design appropriately challenging drills. As with semi-private sessions, Coach Taylor knows when to pull a player out of the small group for individualized instruction.

Testimonials

I assisted David with his coaching duties in youth soccer for several years. His positive communication and interaction with kids and his ability to teach skills and techniques while making it fun and engaging was extremely impactful to their overall development. David's coaching helped players steadily improve in both their individual skills and game acumen.

Coach Dave worked with me on my high school varisty soccer team back in 2013 and I've continued playing with him since. In this time, my knowledge of the game and performance level has completely evolved. He has an advanced understanding of both technique and strategy for each of the various roles on the field. Time and time again, I was shown how athletic ability could be conquered with simple, yet effective techniques and strategies. I am extremely thankful and fortunate to have been coached by him and play along side him.

My 10 year old son has played on Coach David Taylor's team for 3 seasons. David has a really great way with the kids; he is so positive and fun. He gains each player's respect to a point where they want to play hard for him. Coach David finds teaching moments in every practice or play by recapping what they did and, in an encouraging way, points out how they might have done it differently. Coach Taylor teaches at the next level but makes it attainable for this age group. We feel really lucky that he is Bekken's coach!
