About Us
Ignite philosophy
At Ignite Soccer Academy we use modern coaching techniques based on the USSF and United Soccer Coaches principles to teach our youth athletes to play soccer at the highest level possible. We teach technical fundamentals along with field and tactical awareness in order to offer a holistic approach to learning the game. We believe in creating an environment where young players are free to be creative, learn from their mistakes, develop leadership skills and practice good sportsmanship.
First Touch is Key
Soccer is a fast moving, dynamic game and a player's first touch on the ball is critical. The ability to gain control of the ball, and keep control of the ball under pressure, can give you a significant advantage over your opponent. At Ignite Soccer Academy we work hard on perfecting our first touch in order to gain this advantage, whether in an attacking or a defending situation.
Solid Defending
Strong defending is the responsibility of every single player on the field. Whether referring to principles of 1v1 defending or team defending, making the play predictable for your teammates is the key to winning back possession of the ball. Ignite Soccer Academy coaches believe that every player can become a strong, confident defender in order to minimize our time spent without the ball.

"Emma enjoyed playing soccer with so many of her friends in a fun environment. She really like her coaches. As I expected, having older girls (and boys) as coaches was a hit. She liked having daily themes, and especially enjoyed World Cup day. She spent two hours the day before making her shirt, which was two hours she wasn't looking for screen time. Big win. Thank you!"
"You made it SO fun. She loved the competitions, especially World Cup! And the counselors were young and enthusiastic."
"Great camp counselors, fun drills, daily theme and popsicles!"
"The coaches were young soccer players and interactive with the campers. Also, she liked that each day focused on a different skill."
"Enjoyed attending camp with many of her friends and really liked the World Cup tournament on the last day. My daughter said she really liked the camp and had a lot fun!"
"Caitlin really enjoyed the focusing on specific skills each day, how the counselors worked to correct her and give her individualized attention when needed to help her be successful, and of course - the icy cold treats at the end. Colin really liked the rotation system with skills and the scrimmages."
