We kicked off Session 2 of Little Spirits last night! ⚽️

It was great to see so many young players out having fun, building confidence, and falling even more in love with the game. We can’t wait for another great session together! 💙

💙Thank you to everyone who attended our SASA Goalkeeper & Finishing Camp!

We had three great days of learning, hard work, and player development. A huge thank you to our players, coaches, and families for making it such a great experience.

We can’t wait to see you all back on the field soon! ⚽🧤

⚽🥅 Goalkeeper & Finishing Camp is off to a fantastic start! Thanks to Scheels Sports Park for hosting us!

Day 1 was all about one-time finishing in dangerous areas, helping players improve their movement, timing, and ability to finish with confidence.

Day 2 shifted the focus to breakaways, working on composure, decision-making, and finishing under pressure while our goalkeepers sharpened their 1v1 techniques.

Looking forward to seeing everyone for our last day! 💙
