Individual Training Opportunities
At St. John’s Football Club, our primary focus is structured team training within the Dutch Development Model. However, some players may benefit from additional individual technical work outside of team sessions. Private training is optional and intended to support individual development, but it is not required for success within the SJFC development pathway.
Private and Small Group Training Through Good Lad Soccer
St. John’s Football Club has partnered with Good Lad Soccer to provide optional private and small-group training opportunities for players seeking additional technical development outside of team training. These sessions are designed to supplement the structured training environment of the SJFC Dutch Development Model, providing players with additional repetition and focused technical work. Good Lad Soccer sessions focus on: • Ball mastery • First touch and receiving • Passing technique • Finishing • Position-specific technical work Sessions are designed to complement SJFC training, not replace it.
