Your kid's rec coach has 15 players and 90 minutes. They don't have time to teach individual skills. We do.

"We did the PTP clinic over Thanksgiving in KoP. It was amazing. The coaches really did a great job going thru the drills and keeping the kids engaged the whole time."

J. Bunnell★★★★★
"Our son had a great week at PTP. We liked that they keep the player to coach ratio small so that there is a lot of individual attention. He can't wait to come back!"

Teaching What Team Coaches Don't Have Time To Teach
Your kid's rec coach has 15 players and 90 minutes. They don't have time to work on individual skills, 1v1 moves, or build real confidence on the ball.
That's where we come in. PTP exists to give every player the mentorship and skill development they deserve—led by athletes who've been there.
