THE PREPARATION STANDARD
Success at tryouts is rarely a matter of luck; it is a direct result of intentional, high-pressure preparation. Our 8-week clinic is designed to bridge the gap between off-season training and peak competitive performance. By immersing players in an environment that demands technical precision and mental sharpness, we ensure they arrive at the pitch with the confidence to stand out. At Black Oaks FC, we provide the tools, the intensity, and the professional standards required for players to claim their spot at the next level.
- Precision Under Pressure
- Technical Mastery at Speed
- Elite Competitive Mindset

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. We take pride in offering a club-neutral environment. The 8-week series is open to all players from any club in the region who are looking to improve their technical standards and prepare for the competitive season.
While this program is designed to maximize a player’s performance and visibility, team placement is determined during official club tryouts in the spring. This clinic ensures your player is prepared to showcase their best self when that time comes.
Because we have a limited number of spots to maintain a high coach-to-player ratio, we cannot offer make-up sessions or prorated refunds for individual missed dates.
Players should arrive 15 minutes early at Santa Rosa High School dressed in training gear with cleats, shin guards, a labeled water bottle, and a properly inflated soccer ball.
To ensure elite-level training and maximum touches, sessions are divided into 1-hour high-intensity blocks by age:
U8–U9: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
U10–U11: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
U12–U13: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Please arrive 15 minutes early to be ready for the whistle.
