“Every day in the Jungle a Gazelle wakes up knowing today they must outrun the fastest lion or they will be eaten. And every day a Lion wakes up in the jungle knowing today they must outrun the fastest Gazelle or they will starve”…It does not matter whether or not you are a Gazelle or a Lion, when you get up every day, you better be running! We are pleased to announce the 2nd year of our Neu Way Academy Training Program. We will be offering two different programs to our players, the Development Academy (Gazelles) designed for the U7-U10 Players and the Elite Academy (Lions) designed for the U11-U16 players. Our Academy training will be a better alternative to private lessons and private training, offered to you through the club! The environment in California that our players often have to play in is like that of a jungle, and whether our players are Gazelles or Lions, we want to help give them that competitive edge to compete and “Run” in that jungle!

What do players I have trained in the past have to say about private training?
“Private Training has helped me take my game one step beyond”; “I know if I want to get better and get to a higher level, this is what it takes”; “The good players know, that’s why we all do private training”; “It’s good, because I feel and see myself getting better”

What do I do if I have still have more questions?
