WHO IS IT FOR
Made for club and travel players who want to be pushed.
If your player is one of the stronger kids at team practice and the sessions have stopped challenging them, this is the next level.
Higher Level Training is where competitive players from Southern NH and Northern MA train at the speed the game is actually played: a first touch that holds up under real pressure, playing forward instead of safe, defending 1v1 without diving in, finishing when the chance lasts half a second. Coaches expect focus, work rate, and a willingness to be coached. Players get the same back.
Players train by game format so everyone competes at the right level:
7v7 / 9v9 Group (U9-U12) sharpens technique at speed, 1v1 confidence, and the habits that separate a good town player from a club-ready one.
11v11 Group (U13-U19) adds the tactical layer: speed of play, pressure and cover, movement off the ball, and decisions that hold up in high school and club matches.
When numbers allow, each group is split again by ability, so players train with others at their pace.
Three kinds of players show up.
Club players adding a night of technical work their team schedule has no room for.
Town travel players ready for a faster environment.
Skills & Scrimmage players our coaches have recommended to move up. All three fit.
Not sure your player is ready? Ask us before you register. A coach will give you an honest read, and if Skills & Scrimmage is the better starting point, we will say so. Players move up when coaches see they are ready.

Ninety minutes. One topic. Game speed.
WHAT A SESSION LOOKS LIKE
Every session follows the same structure so players know what is expected and parents can see the progress. The topic changes week to week. The standard does not.
Juggling warm-up. Ten minutes with the ball in the air. Touch, balance, coordination, and a number to beat next week.
Topic of the week. The curriculum rotates through five areas: dribbling and 1v1 moves, passing and receiving, defending, aerial control, and finishing.
Train it under pressure. Competitive activities and small-sided games built around the topic. Tight space, real opposition, and a price for a loose touch.
Coached scrimmage. Every session ends in live play. Coaches stop it to teach decision-making, movement, communication, and the night's topic in a real game.
Wrap up. One thing to take back to team practice that week.
Coached by licensed Become Elite Soccer staff who coach competitive club teams year-round.
Train like a club player
WHY CHOOSE US
Become Elite Soccer runs teams from U8 through high school and sends players on to college programs. Higher Level Training is coached by the same licensed staff, on the same technical curriculum our own club players train on.
That matters for a strong player. Most team practices are built around the team: shape, set pieces, the weekend's opponent. Individual development gets whatever time is left. This is the opposite. Ninety minutes built around your player's first touch, decisions, and speed of play, surrounded by players good enough to punish a mistake.
Players from any club or town program are welcome, and nobody is asked to switch. This is a training night, not a tryout. Players go back to their own teams sharper, which is the point.
What our families say
Every clinic runs on the same promise: coaches who know your kid's name and what they're working on. Our BES families say it best...
“My 2 children were in the summer program and they enjoyed it to the fullest as well as they learned and improved a lot. They will return to the fall program. Coach Carl is positive, enthusiastic, supportive, trusting, focused, goal-oriented, knowledgeable, observant, respectful, patient with kids and a clear communicator.
I recommend become elite soccer 200%”
— Vanessa A.
“I am very impressed with Become Elite Soccer. I signed my son up to continue learning new skills over the winter months. I wanted my son to learn better ball control and to build confidence on the field. This program has, by far, exceeded my expectations. It is so much fun to not only watch my son grow as an athlete but to also gain a better understanding of the game. The coaches take the time to explain to the kids what it is they are teaching them and why it is important to the game. All in all I am very happy we chose the Become Elite Soccer program.”
— Jaclyn M.
“My three youngest absolutely loved working with Coach Eddie over the summer. He did a great job of differentiating his teaching so that all ages could have fun and improve their soccer skills. Looking forward to enjoying more programs with BES in the future.”
— Lauren P.
Questions Parents Ask
FAQ
-
A good rule of thumb: they play club or competitive town travel, they are comfortable on the ball under pressure, and team practice has stopped stretching them. If you are not sure, contact us before registering and a coach will help place your player.
-
Coaches will tell you early, usually within the first session or two, and help you move to Skills & Scrimmage, which covers the same skills at a steadier pace. Players move back up when coaches see they are ready.
-
Skills & Scrimmage is one hour, open to every level, and built around confidence and fundamentals in game situations. Higher Level is ninety minutes, faster, and assumes the fundamentals are already there. Same coaching staff, higher bar.
-
Yes, and many do. Team practices are about the team. This session is about your player: touches, decisions, and speed of play their team schedule rarely has room for. No one will ask them to switch clubs.
-
Match their current game format. If they play 9v9 this season, start in the 7v7 / 9v9 group. If they are strong and moving to 11v11, ask us about the older group. Coaches will suggest a move if the other group is the better fit.
-
Yes. Each day is its own registration. Players who want more than one night a week usually save with a Higher Level winter bundle, which can also include Aerial Techniques, Goalkeeper Academy, conditioning, and league play.
-
Yes. Players can join anytime at prorated pricing, as long as there is room in their group.
-
Indoor soccer shoes or cleats, shin guards (required), a soccer ball, and a water bottle.
-
Life happens. Missed sessions are not refunded, but ask us about jumping into the other day that week when space allows.
-
Training runs indoors at The Phanzone Sportscenter. Outside of state or local weather emergencies, we are always open during your scheduled time.
-
Players can add Aerial Techniques, conditioning, or Goalkeeper Academy for more specific work. Players who want the strongest competition can select the Become Elite Soccer Invitational (BESI) at registration to share interest; placement is confirmed by BES. Players who want a team can ask about the club. None of it is required; many players simply register for the next session.
