CLASS STRUCTURE
From Simple To Complex
Each soccer training session is 40 minutes in length and consists of four 10-minute activities or games progressing in complexity. The first 10 minutes emphasize brain and motor-skill activation, the next phase focuses on technical skill, then we introduce that technical skill into a fun and engaging game, and finally we wrap it all up with fun, game-like scenarios.
When available, our dedicated Gameplay sessions allow these young athletes to transfer the skills they acquire in their small group training sessions into a structured ‘pick-up’ style game option where they learn the basic rules and start to foster their love of the game.

FREE PLAY
MINI MOVERS MOTORWAY
Our methodology is rooted in research that emphasizes the importance of unstructured exploratory play for young children. Such play not only fosters creativity, problem-solving, and confidence, but it also lays a robust foundation for subsequent learning phases. “Mini-Movers” is a space specially curated for your little explorers. Here they can climb, roll, and even take the occasional tumble, all while honing their motor skills and broadening their cognitive perspectives. The space boasts soft play equipment akin to toddler gymnastics and ninja warrior setups, complemented by a collection of toys specifically designed for the 1-5 year age group.
Members aged 1-5 have unlimited access to the Mini-Movers, provided the space isn’t reserved for other functions. Whether it’s before or after their soccer session or even on off-training days, there’s always an opportunity for them to dive into the world of exploratory play. While the COPA Mini-Movers Motorway doesn’t require any prior registration, parental supervision is mandatory.
COPA.me
BADGES OF HONOR
COPA.me is a summary of your player’s journey as a COPA member. Players collect unique stickers and feedback badges from different training offerings to show off just how hard they’ve been working and developing. If a coach feels the player has excelled in a move or category, be ready to collect badges for that success!
*Remember to bring the COPA.me every time to check in and fill up those pages!
