What is Hobe Sound College Prep Program?
College Prep Program players are the elite level players of Hobe Sound Soccer Club. Players include girls and boys ages 15-19. Each player must participate in try-outs where their skills, speed, attitude and fitness will be evaluated by our top international coaches. Teams will then be selected by our group of international coaches, professionally licensed trainers and club officials. This is an advanced program that our club offers and is a serious development pathway enabling players achieve a higher level of playing and education through structured curriculums and updated advanced training methods using all three coaching styles "command coaching", "guided discovery" and "cooperative coaching" to meet or exceed the needs of each of our players and teams. Our qualified licensed coaches are background checked by Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA) and US Club Soccer. Our coaches hold US Soccer Federation (USSF) licenses and/or Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) accreditations. Our coaching staff along with our abundance of connections within the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA will expose players to a greater network of college recruiters and provide a deeper understanding of the college recruitment process.
