We have weekly fall (and spring) skills classes on Sunday afternoons in McLean (just off the Beltway) and Fairfax (just off 66); programs have already started, but where space is available we're glad to welcome new players and prorate registration fees accordingly.

In the winter, we go indoors in Fairfax, just off the Beltway. We're crafting the winter schedule now; registered fall players will have priority, and then we'll open signups to everyone.

We offer programs for different ages and skill levels, from beginners through travel, and we're always happy to talk with parents to find the best fit for their player. Private, semiprivate, and team training is also available, at our field or at a location closer to you.

I went to college with Tamir, good guy and a soccer guru. You won't be disappointed with his program.

I live in Fairfax and have done several Golden Boot (GB) clinics over the years. The trainers have be fine but the problem is that it doesn't really draw any "top" players in my opinion. The 1v1 activity can be set up perfectly but if you are going up against some rec kid or low level travel player, there is no point. I know HP Elite used to screen players but even they stopped drawing top players. I know they started "DA only clinics". I'm not sure if GB screens for certain clinics or not.

So if the top players stopped going to even HP Elite, where are they training?

All the top players play for BRYC and get supplemental training at the St JAMES.

It seems almost every soccer training program is out in Loudoun/Chantilly/Sterling.

Even some suggested are out in Sterling.

Is it not cost-effective to hold them in NW/Arlington. That’s a huge # of players with no market.

It seems to be the only outfit that gets a mention on these boards. Some of it seems to stem from personalities (I have no idea who these folks are).

If you're looking to supplement, it seems like you either have to do HP Elite or find a private trainer.

HP is a complete $$$$ pit and the training is average. The training is also not a full 90 min. They will start late and end about 7 min early
If your the last group they cut practice 10 min early so they have time to lug all the equipment/balls off before lacrosse comes on.
Not to mention all the hellish traffic you get stuck on getting to/ fro If you don’t live in that area. I also question the interesting people they hire to run the trainings. One guy that was a trainer running the classes for a few years is now in jail now for being a serial rob banker in Fairfax county This bad boy was around young kids.

Please don't waste you time and $

Sorry, you have it all wrong. HP still has some of the area's top players from Loudoun ECNL all the way through DCU DA, we just finished friday night lights and a summer program and I can tell you there isn't a lack of talent out there.

He was fired the second the owners found out. Literally put on a plane and sent home from Europe as soon as they found out. Don’t spew your BS here.

Serial rob banker? Put down the wine. At least HP fired the coach instead or protecting him. #thefutureiscuddles

This is good to hear. It was pretty low for a while (at least in my son's age group. He's an 06) and we haven't been there since last winter. Thanks for the update.

Friday night lights??BWAHAHAHAHA! That is more like babysitting for Mom's night out! The talent is a joke. We signed up my DD for FNL and left after the first training session!
