If you’re looking for youth soccer training in Santa Rosa, Grit Athletic Training offers structured, science-based athletic development for soccer players ages 13 and up — no gym required.
Soccer is a demanding sport — players cover 7–9 miles a match, sprint repeatedly, and have to win every 50/50 ball. Most young athletes never get dedicated training built around those exact demands. This program fixes that.
Research on youth athletic development consistently shows that structured, sport-specific training reduces injury risk and improves performance compared to unstructured play — which is the foundation of USA Soccer’s player development guidelines and why a dedicated program matters.
The Grit Soccer Performance Program
The Grit Soccer Performance Program is a structured 12-week training plan built around the physical demands of the sport — explosive speed, lower body power, and the repeated-sprint conditioning that holds up from the first whistle to the final minute. Train at home, at the park, or anywhere you have space.

How Youth Soccer Training in Santa Rosa Works
Every youth soccer training session follows the same proven structure. Sessions start with a dynamic warmup to prepare the body to move at full intensity.
From there athletes move into sport-specific acceleration and first-step quickness drills — building the explosive speed and change-of-direction mechanics that transfer directly to winning 1v1 battles and beating defenders with pace.
Every session closes with repeated-sprint conditioning to build the engine that stays sharp in the 80th minute, when matches are won and lost.
Every session is coached one-on-one or in small groups, so each athlete gets the attention and progression their development actually calls for — not a generic group workout.
Sessions are 60 minutes, run at Hidden Valley Elementary in Santa Rosa, and are open to athletes ages 13 and up with flexible scheduling built around club practices, school commitments, and match days. Contact Oliver to get started.
