Cal coaching staff lead training sessions on the UC Berkeley campus. Physically, technically, tactically, and emotionally demanding training sessions. Training in the Cal Soccer environment with our coaching staff will give players an insight into what we look for in a player and how we develop our athletes here. We believe that our philosophy, how we train, and our demanding environment set us apart from other programs in college soccer. Our training sessions are full of enjoyment, learning, and competition that will have the players wanting more afterward. There is nothing greater than the enjoyment and passion for the game.
We will have a Q and A for the players regarding college soccer, the expectations, recruiting process, etc. Bring your questions!
If canceled we will move to a date in the near future.
