Orix Soccer Academy provides a unique and innovative training experience for our program participants in assisting them to reach their soccer goals. Players can train and play with Orix full time or in combination with other clubs and programs.

Orix Soccer Academy’s primary focus for young players is developing the players decision-making rather than prioritizing size and strength. The player’s ability to think the game at high level generally supersedes just physical attributes alone.

Our Small Sided Training format ensures that players develop a foundation that is centered around strong technical and decision making abilities. This training format is fast paced and played in a tighter space; therefore players must learn to think and react quicker. As a result they will improve their first touch, balance, coordination, ball mastery, shooting with both feet, situational awareness, accurate passing and receiving with both feet.

We believe young players learn through repetition and practice in small areas where this development will occur naturally. We believe this is the best way to achieve accelerated development and prepare players for opportunities beyond youth soccer.

Our programs train indoors in gymnasiums from October to March and outdoors from April to September. The program allows players to train and play matches year round in a development training environment. Our training program is designed to develop the individual player’s technical, tactical and cognitive abilities (Soccer IQ).
