Overview

This 8-week Spring Online Performance Clinic is designed to support youth soccer players throughout the demands of the season - helping maintain performance, reduce injury risk, and build consistency without adding unnecessary time commitments.


Built in response to busy spring schedules, the program follows a pre-recorded, on-demand format, allowing players to train on their own time while still receiving structured, high-level guidance and ongoing coach support.


Players receive:

  • Weekly session releases (video + PDF) with clear structure and progression
  • Age-appropriate, soccer-specific training designed for in-season demands
  • Flexibility to complete sessions at home, on their own schedule
  • Detailed guidance on sets, reps, progressions, and recovery
  • Direct access for feedback and questions throughout the program

Focus areas include:

  • Maintaining strength, speed, and power during the season
  • Managing fatigue alongside match and training loads
  • Injury prevention through improved movement quality


For MLS NEXT and ECNL-RL players, this program fills a critical gap - providing consistent physical development support during a period where time is limited and performance demands are high.

Why We're Different


Most U.S. youth programs overlook strength and conditioning - but at elite European academies, it’s a core part of development.


This program was built by Brian Gheorghiu, Surf’s Sports Performance Lead. Brian earned his Master’s of Science at the University of Bath, where he studied under professionals connected to the UK Olympic Training Center and Southampton FC satellite site. He also coached and interned at top NCAA programs including Boston University and Northeastern.


This isn’t a generic workout download - it reflects the same developmental philosophy used by top academies worldwide.


Built with intention. Backed by science. Tailored to youth soccer.

Why It's Important:

Stay on top of the youth soccer curve:

  • Bridges the Gap in U.S. Youth Development

    Most American academies lack structured strength and conditioning, putting players at a disadvantage compared to elite global standards.

  • Supports Injury Prevention

    A consistent summer plan builds stability, mobility, and strength — helping reduce common injuries as players grow and compete.

  • Perform at Your Best, All Season Long

    Keep your edge against opponents by maintaining strength, speed, and confidence week after week.

  • Teaches Training Habits for Life

    Players develop accountability, proper technique, and a deeper understanding of how to take care of their bodies — skills that carry into every level of the game.
