About Our 6 Week Program
Where & When
Our classes meet 55 minutes a week for 6 weeks (Lil Boscos is 40 minutes). Training is held in Columbia, Glen Carbon and O'Fallon year round (Highland and Belleville in the winter only). We offer seven, 6 Week Training Programs sessions for your athlete throughout the year. VISIT OUR WHERE N WHEN PAGE for full details.
New Program Memberships
We’ve rebuilt our programs to offer more to the kids and make things easier for parents! All you need to do sign-up once and and then pay a monthly fee for our new membership. It works like Netflix, except your athlete can play all the soccer they want, rather than watch TV. 6 Week Program Members enjoy special events and training sessions. You can still purchase a single 6 Week Program if you wish.
