Futsal and Indoor Training
Winter Training Program
Winter indoor training is an important component of the Skyline Elite player development program. The opportunity to play during the winter months maintains development continuity. The unique demands of the indoor soccer environment challenges players to develop a more complete skill set. Due to the tight spaces, indoor play helps players sharpen technical skills while increasing speed of play and decision-making.

Off-Season Winter Training
Skyline Elite teams will continue to train over the winter months. While the frequency of training will reduce during this time frame to allow players to recover from the fall season, training will continue and teams will meet as their league schedule dictates. Many teams will have competitive matches in the January and February time frame and training will be necessary to maintain player fitness and team cohesion.
In addition, Skyline Elite players will have access to advanced Winter Academy programs operated by SOCA. Winter Academy programs are optional, but encouraged for players seeking to supplement their team training over the winter time frame. Winter Academies are six week long technical development programs, emphasizing the acquisition and application of technical skills in an appropriately demanding training environment. Skills and soccer intelligence are emphasized to solve game problems. Academies meet once per week in January and February.

Participation in the SOCA Winter Indoor Soccer League (WISL) futsal program is optional for Skyline Elite Players. Registration fees are not included in team registration fees this year. The WISL futsal league operates for approximately seven weeks in January and February and takes place at the state-of-the-art Belvedere Field House.
