What Is Pod Training?

Think of the familiar phrase “three peas in a pod.”

A pod is a small group that stays closely connected and works together.

At WV Soccer Combine, Pod Training places only 2–4 players in each training group. Instead of joining a large training session where players may spend time waiting in lines, athletes in a Pod remain actively involved throughout the session.

Pod Training combines the personal attention of individual instruction with the competition, passing options, and game interaction of a small group. Every Pod contains no fewer than 2 players and no more than 4 players.

Training Focus

Primary areas of development

Foot Skills and Ball Mastery

Develop confidence on the ball, close control, changes of direction, moves, turns, and the ability to operate under pressure.

Passing and Receiving

Improve passing technique, first touch, body positioning, combination play, communication, and receiving in game-realistic situations.

Shooting and Finishing

Develop striking technique, accuracy, power, composure, finishing from different angles, and the ability to finish with both feet.

Positional Training

Understand the technical and tactical demands of a preferred position — forwards, wingers, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers when appropriate.

The exact focus of each session may vary based on the players assigned to the Pod.
