OUR SERVICE
Experience. Passion. Player Development
1-on-1 Training
Player-centric 1-on-1 training for all ages and skill levels. You pick the time, the location, and let us know what you want to improve on — technical, tactical, or fitness, or a mixture of all three. One hour sessions, one on one with a licensed coach.
Small Group Training / PODS
First Touch Soccer MN specializes in creating private, custom-designed soccer lessons for small groups. We call these types of classes PODS. To form a POD, you need a group of at least two players and a location. The location can be in your city, building or a nearby park. We can also help you secure the space.
The way a POD works is that one parent takes the lead and organizes the group and becomes the main point of contact, working directly with First Touch Soccer Director of Coaching and Owner Craig Mallace to coordinate logistics. Craig will assess your group's skill level through conversation with the lead parent and will customize a training program for the POD.
Cancellations due to weather are handled on a case-by-case basis, but we usually try to extend the session to make up for the missed class.
Team Training
First Touch Soccer MN offers tailored team training programs for clubs, schools, and recreational teams across the Twin Cities. Whether your team needs to sharpen technical skills, build tactical understanding, or improve fitness and teamwork, Craig Mallace designs a program specifically for your group. Sessions can be scheduled at a location of your choice and are available for all age groups and skill levels.
Private School Training
First Touch Soccer MN partners with private schools to deliver high-quality soccer coaching as part of your physical education or after-school programming. Craig works directly with school administrators and PE coordinators to build a program that fits your schedule and student needs. Sessions are structured, age-appropriate, and focused on developing both soccer skills and lifelong physical activity habits.
Community Camps
First Touch Soccer MN runs community soccer camps throughout the Twin Cities, open to players of all ages and skill levels. Our camps are high-energy, professionally coached, and focused on skill development in a fun and supportive environment. Players learn technical skills, tactical awareness, and most importantly — they fall in love with the game. Check our Soccer Central page and social media for upcoming camp dates and locations.
Daycare Programs
First Touch Soccer MN is a proven soccer provider throughout the Twin Cities. For new partners, we meet to explain our coaching and fitness philosophy and then set up a FREE TRIAL CLASS for your organization to test the First Touch Soccer MN experience. You can choose your day, time, and amount of classes that would suit your programming needs. Request more information about how to bring First Touch Soccer MN to your school or organization .
