Private or group: which is right?
1-on-1 privates are best for position-specific work and focused feedback. Group programs add competition and are great for building speed and strength alongside other athletes. Private lesson prices are listed above; for anything else, ask us for current pricing with the Get more info form at the bottom of this page.
What should my athlete bring?
Turf shoes or sneakers (no cleats or spikes) and a sealed water bottle. Every athlete needs a signed waiver. See our facility rules.
Can my team practice at Elite?
Yes. Teams can rent our private turf on their own (turf rentals) or book coached team training.
