12 WEEK 'SEASONAL' ENROLLMENT IN PURA VIDA'S LA CANTERA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. SEASONAL TRAINING IS AVAILABLE WHEN PROGRAM CAPACITY ALLOWS. 

La Cantera is Pura Vida Elite's most holistic + cost effective player development model. La Cantera is a year-round development program featuring peer-leveled, small group training. La Cantera's curriculum combines Technical Training + Performance Training + Futbol IQ (Tactical) Training + Mental Performance + Nutrition + Mejenga (Free Play)! 

Players may choose to enroll in La Cantera through our La Cantera Development Training Program (most cost effective) or, when program capacity allows, through our 12-week La Cantera Seasonal Training option. 

​

All new players are introduced to La Cantera training methods + techniques during an intensive private or semi-private Onboarding process. After Onboarding, each new Cantera player will be placed in a specific Cantera Player Pool, among their skill-level + age-level peers. La Canter Player Pools offer amazing scheduling flexibility. Players may book online, choosing from their pool's selection of weekly training times.

​

La Cantera training is designed to drive individual player development in concert with club + high school soccer seasons. Cantera athletes train twice weekly in peer-leveled, 6-player (max) training groups. Each La Cantera training session includes Technical Training, Performance + Futbol IQ. 

Pura Vida's futbol-specific Performance Training is fully integrated with our Technical Training. Performance Training is at the core of the Cantera curriculum. Performance builds a foundation of athleticism (power, strength, speed & mobility) & optimizes movement mechanics, accelerates the acquisition of technique and mitigates athlete injury.​​

​

Consistency is the single greatest driver of player development. La Cantera is a model designed to reward player consistency and produce a steep & steady growth curve, while always keeping it fun, sharing a passion for the game & enjoying the international futbol flavor at Casa Pura Vida! Vamos!
