Our program has two unique training sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The morning session includes two hours of stroke production and technique development. The focus of the afternoon session is point development and match play. The students will have one hour of on and off-court conditioning and weight training three times per week. Our method of two training sessions per day will allow the student to assimilate the instruction effectively.
Our high-performance Academy has a track record of helping players reach their potential. In addition to academy training, players will be given a chance to train with the best players and engage in match-play, conditioning, mental training, video analysis, and player analysis.
Each morning, our athletes focus on mastering strokes and fundamentals fundamentals such as control, height, depth, placement, and ball speed. In the afternoon, the training shifts to strategic tactical work, allowing athletes to apply their skills in game-like scenarios. This dual-focus approach ensures comprehensive development and improved performance.

“A Dream without a plan is just an illusion”
The plan is based on the systematic and incremental improvement of the player over an extended period. It focuses on the specific skill set of the athlete and …
Three simple factors to develop a high performing footballer:
Talent & Potential, Volume, and Instruction. The conceptual simplicity of the approach is purposeful to remind the base necessity of excelling at identifying the highest potential players, highlight the fundamental role of volume and repetition as a necessary condition to develop mastery, and remark at last that volume of training is most frequently not sufficient if it’s not accompanied by optimal instruction. In other words, RPS Soccer Academy’s approach highlights that it is not only about Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours but also about the quality of those hours, which need to be optimized by the best possible level of instruction.
From this foundational base, our methodology builds the most in-depth layers of knowledge, delivering specific coaching points in each session and activity and in both team and individual settings.
This is aligned with the belief that despite soccer being a team sport, the player comes first and team results need to be majorly a result of progress of each individual, highlighting then in our programming not only team oriented sessions and instances, but also focusing on individual and functional training to ensure that each player is learning the specifics of their roles as they go through their youth years and the positional specialization process.
This is in our methodology, by no means, suggesting that unopposed training, or isolated training, is more important than the game based and opposed. On the contrary, our approach highlights the importance of developing skill over technique, understanding the first as the effective application of the second within a game situation.
Skill development, in that sense, is not perceived as a linear process of acquiring techniques in isolated situations to then merge into game-based and opposing situations that resemble real games in a closer fashion. Like in music, it is not always a good idea to break a masterpiece into too many fragments to try to stick it back together. From that cornerstone, the different activities and training that are utilized serve as tools that can be used based on the needs of each specific player.
To surround and support soccer specific training, a team of professionals assist for a fully holistic developmental approach, covering the areas of Video Analysis, Mental Skills & Toughness, Fitness & Performance Development, Nutrition, and Intellectual Development.
It is at the core of RPS Academies, like the famous Argentinian coach Cesar Luis Menotti said: If all you know is football, you hardly even know about football.
Our primary objective is to develop the cognitive and mental aspects of the game, including emotional control and intellectual understanding. To achieve this, we conduct training based on games.

The plan is based on the systematic and incremental improvement of the player over an extended period.
We focus on the specific skill set of the athlete and connect short-term developmental objectives with long-term performance goals.
The plan goes beyond generalities, establishing specific improvement strategies by setting realistic goals that we can objectively measure. Results don’t lie and will show us the way.
Although it is well said that plans change after the first training session, it is also well said that “A Dream without a plan is just an illusion”. Our periodization plan acts as the guiding light of the program and the masterplan to maximize the impact of the pieces within.
Final Preparation and Daily Training
Ultimately, our success is judged by the results, which is why it is crucial for athletes to arrive at competitions well-prepared in all aspects of their game. Daily practices expose them to various types of pressure, teaching them to perform at their best, under pressure, against opponents with different playing styles. This exposure helps them interpret and adapt to different plays based on their opponents and the court surfaces.
The star of the team is the team.
We teach and we play from a position of love, not of fear.
Professionalism is not a status, it is a behavior.
Our responsibility is to nurture well rounded, cultured, sensitive people, not just great soccer players.
We don’t expect comfort, we are here to embrace the grind and to compete.
Within the RPS Soccer Academy, groups are not splitted by age groups but by level of play, respecting our overarching program principles. We are here to compete.
The first thing that’s needed to be a great coach is to know the game in depth. We coach specifics, not vague ideas.
Because the ultimate success is the success of each individual, not the success of the team.
Our coaches and students are guided by a growth mentality, understanding errors as part of the learning process, and displaying resilience.
Our systematic approach includes all of the fundamental components for peak performance including endurance, strength, power, speed, balance, coordination, agility, flexibility, and nutrition.
