Why We Train Players Indoors
Orix Academy Training Programs offers primarily an Indoor Soccer format for for our academy participants . This format is fast paced and played in a tighter space; therefore players must learn to think and react quicker. As a result they will develop the skills required in the future to be standout 11 aside soccer players.
Indoor Soccer will help players develop an exceptional first touch, foot speed, balance, agility and coordination, ball mastery, shooting with both feet, situational awareness, accurate and quick passing and receiving. We believe children learn through repetition and practice in small areas where this development will occur naturally.
Our programs play indoors in gymnasiums from mid September to March.
