Supplemental Training


The NC Fusion Tekkers Program  is an excellent program designed for players in the 9U-14U age groups to develop and enhance their technical skills and abilities. In small groups of eight players, all sessions will be intense and fun with a focus on technical dribbling, passing, receiving and ball striking. Players will be challenged and pushed with 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and 3 vs 3 games, ball mastery, and comfort on the ball. 


If you want to add a third night of training to your weekly schedule, this is great supplemental option!
