Infinite Soccer's Story
We founded Infinite Soccer back in 2016 with one goal in mind: giving our athletes the best, most rewarding soccer training experience.
We consistently hear coaches pushing players to shoot for mountains and we're out here helping people reach the stars. Others aim to help players get to ECNL and GA with a final target of D1. We aim to help players reach MLS Next and play professionally.
Infinite Soccer is located in Farmington, MN, but works with players all over Minnesota and surrounding states. Our passionate and skilled team members are here to help players achieve their goals through personal and small group training, game analysis, and education on/connections with the professional scouting process.
​
Our goal begins with helping families and players have an understanding of the pathway to professional and collegiate play, the resources necessary to achieve the highest level possible for the individual, and the education needed to be confident in their decisions.
Our Player Development Philosophy
Mastering the First Touch:
Our programs focus on building players with a dynamic and precise first touch. Using either foot, players will learn to control the ball with accuracy, placing it in positions to play quickly and effectively. This critical skill is emphasized in every session and reinforced with focused preparation between sessions.
​
Developing Accuracy and Power:
Players are trained to use multiple surfaces of both feet for controlling, passing, and shooting. Precision and strength are developed through repetition and deliberate coaching, ensuring players can execute under pressure during matches.
​
Unstoppable 1v1 Moves and translation to Skills:
Confidence in one-on-one situations is a cornerstone of our training. Players are taught to take on defenders with skill and composure, maintain possession under intense defensive pressure, and defend effectively in one-on-one duels. Each session incorporates individual drills that foster creativity, resilience, and confidence for moments that often define the outcome of a match.
​
Small-Sided Mastery (2v1 to 4v3):
Understanding and excelling in small-group scenarios forms the foundation of effective team play. Our training sharpens decision-making and execution in these critical moments to ensure players make the most of every opportunity. Our skills training integrated in our small-sided mastery creates players capable of winning in numbers-down situations.
​
Building Soccer IQ Through Great Habits:
We instill the habits of great players—taking a look at the masters of the game in the likes of Messi, Ronaldinho, Pele, and many others. Teaching those small but essential actions that enhance a player’s sense of the game ("game smarts") and elevate their overall performance on the field.
​
Competing with Purpose:
Our players learn to embrace the competitive process, learning to give maximum effort at practice and games to better themselves and inspire their teammates. Through competition, they develop the grit and determination that leads to long-term success.
​
Exceptional Development by Age 12:
From the wise words of Arsene Wenger: :If you have no technical skill at 14, you can forget it, you will never be a football player." By the time players reach age 12, they will be remarkably skilled resulting in confident and intelligent play on the ball. They’ll also possess a strong grasp of team play fundamentals, allowing them to excel individually and contribute meaningfully to their team’s success.
