Why is Personal Training Important?

When a trainer works with a team they typically have 12 to 18 players involved. This is an ideal way to teach team tactics, but it is often difficult to give sufficient attention to individual technical training needs. Private, individualized training gives players the focused attention necessary to their development as high-level players. Private training is also a great way to stay sharp technically and physically.

Individual Private Training mix individual and small group training--providing technical expertise in an individualized 1-on-1 environment, as well as tactical skills and understanding in small groups. Through PTP players benefit in skills, tactical understanding, fitness, and other important aspects of the game that only individual and small group sessions can provide.

Individual Private Training
(all sessions are one hour)

Individual Private Training provides players with individual technical and tactical instruction in specific areas of the game--those that are difficult to learn in a team or large group environment. The sessions may be used to --

• Improve on particular skills
• Brush up on existing skills before an important tryout
• Return from an injury
• Improve speed, agility, and fitness

The individual session can be structured by the player--e.g., to work on a better shot, increase fitness, taking balls out of the air.

Or PSSA trainers can observe the player, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop a curriculum best suit the players' needs.

Players can register for a single session or any number they feel appropriate.
