Our Services
one on one Elite training
Each training session will consist of one on one training for 60 minutes. During that time, we will perform numerous drills to better the athlete. Athletes can provide the trainer with certain skills they would like to improve and work on, such as defending, passing, ball control, etc. However, if your child is brand new to soccer and would enjoy learning everything about the game, then we will be happy to create and customize a plan just for you. Also, if requested and at no additional charge, we will be happy to provide fitness and nutrition plans to athletes if they want to improve their health and soccer abilities. As an added bonus, after every sixth session, the athlete will receive a custom ZoomReports evaluation.
SMALL Group Elite training (up to 6 ATHLETES)
If you have a group of friends or siblings that would like to train together, this is the perfect option for you. You get the same perks as an individual one on one training, but tailored to the size of the group.
Team Training (7 or more Athletes)
High quality team training with an emphasis on excellent individual skills and dominant collective tactical execution is also available.

Testimonials
Our son had the pleasure of working with Connor Marino as his trainer and coach while playing for Next Level Soccer Academy in Pennington, NJ.
Connor’s successful career as a D1 player has made him a great role model for our son and his teammates. His real life experience as a player has given Connor a wealth of knowledge on what it takes to successfully perform at the highest levels. He very effectively shares his knowledge of the game and teaches the skills needed to any level player for them to reach their personal goals. His unique style of training covers all aspects of becoming a stronger player and competitor. Connor’s passion is evident while watching him work with his players. He knows how to motivate and inspire to bring the best out of any player! - SUE D

He took his game to the next level as a Division 1 player and captain at Marshall University. Connor uses his knowledge andpassion and relays the skills needed to succeed in ways that are easy to follow. Connor trained and coached my one son for a summer select team.
