Center of Excellence

What is the Center of Excellence (COE)

The COE is a training program offered by the Edmond Soccer Club to enhance the development of soccer skills for any recreational soccer players. The COE is open to all recreational players U5 – U18 boys and girls. The primary purpose of the COE is to provide a fun, yet challenging environment for recreational players to improve their ability to handle the ball. The focus of the COE will be on developing the skills of each individual player.

The COE will meet at ESC for 7 sessions on Mondays from 6:15 PM to 7:15 PM.   The dates are below.  Each participant will receive a COE t-shirt.  The t-shirt order will be placed after the first night of COE and should be ready to be picked up by the second COE.
