Why is the first session only $40?
Regular drop-in sessions are $70. The first session is discounted to $40 so new families can experience real 1-on-1 training without a big commitment. It's a full session — same length, same coaching, same intensity — with a technical evaluation and personalized development plan included. Continuing after that is entirely your choice.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are conducted at parks and fields throughout Hanford, CA — including Heritage Park, Lacey Park and the Hanford Youth Soccer Complex. The specific location is confirmed when you book based on field access that week.
What should my child bring?
Cleats, shin guards, a water bottle, and a soccer ball (size 3 for U8, size 4 for U9–U12). We take care of everything else.
My child already plays club soccer. Is this still useful?
Yes. Many Valley Roots players compete with City SC Kings County or Hanford Youth Soccer League and do weekly private sessions alongside that. Private training addresses the individual technical gaps that club practice structurally cannot — weak foot mechanics, scanning habits, first touch — without interfering with team commitments.
What happens after the first session?
You receive a custom development plan showing exactly what your player needs to work on and how we'll address it. If you want to continue, drop-in sessions are $70 and monthly packages start at $220. There is zero pressure — the first session is valuable on its own.
What if I need to reschedule?
No problem at all. You can reschedule or cancel anytime through the confirmation email you'll receive after booking — or just call or text us directly.
