Philosophy
We believe that being comfortable on and off the ball is important. Technical Touch NY sessions revolve around activities that promote both fitness and ball skills. Team tactics are developed through small-sided competitions and larger in game situations. Every time we step on the field we want to improve and HAVE FUN!
