On-field development. At-home technical training. Mental fitness.

Next Level is Fusion Training Academy’s selective player-development program for motivated players who want more from their training - and are ready to take greater ownership of their development.

This winter, develop the whole player with Next Level.

Train in a competitive, positive environment with players who share your desire to improve.

Fusion sessions emphasize the skills that translate directly to the game:

Individual technique • 1v1 attacking & defending • Decision-making • Creativity • Confidence on the ball • Small-sided play

Players are encouraged to try new things, make mistakes and solve problems - not simply follow instructions.

Developing good habits can lead to life-long improvement.

Next Level players will receive access to Anytime Soccer Training. Fusion will assign home work to be done twice per week. All assignments will need minimal space and can be accomplished in a bedroom, living room, hallway, etc.

Short assignments throughout the week help players accumulate thousands of additional touches and build better habits without requiring another trip to the field.

Small space. Short sessions. Thousands of extra touches.

Players train their technique.They train their fitness.

Why wouldn’t they train their mind?

This winter, Next Level players will complete two short mental-fitness sessions each week through a Fusion-curated program developed with the AEA Institute and its Mental Edge Academy.

Players will intentionally work on skills such as:

Confidence • Resilience • Focus • Growth mindset • Responding to mistakes • Managing pressure • Positive self-talk • And more

Rather than treating sports psychology as something players need only when there is a problem, Next Level treats mental fitness just like technical fitness:

Something we train.

The cost is expected to be $650 for 16 weeks of on-field development at the best indoor facility in the region, access to the Anytime Soccer app with assigned twice per week homework, Fusion's twice per week mental fitness program and a training shirt.

We want to create better learners and teach players how to take ownership of their development.

It's becoming harder and harder to make to the next level (high school varsity, play in college, make it as a professional)

Parents shouldn't have to remind players to practice and improvement shouldn't depend just on organized team training.

Next Level provides players with the coaching, tools, challenges and environment to improve.

The player provides the effort.

That distinction is important—and it's why Next Level isn't designed for everyone.

Players improve when they're willing to challenge themselves.

We work to create an environment where players feel confident enough to try something difficult, fail, learn and try again.

You'll see:

Competition without fear.

Coaching with personal feedback.

Questions that encourage players to think.

Celebration of individual improvement.

Players being challenged at an appropriate level.

Mistakes treated as part of development.

The goal isn't perfection during training.

The goal is progress.
