Cogent Rehab’s Soccer Performance Group is a physiotherapist-led summer program for young soccer players who want to improve movement quality, confidence, agility, lower-body control, and overall athletic readiness for the field.

This group is designed for active kids and teens who want more than just general fitness. Sessions focus on the movement demands that matter in soccer, including landing, cutting, deceleration, balance, body control, and acceleration mechanics. The goal is to help young athletes move better, build stronger foundations, and feel more confident in training and competition.

Who This Group Is For

This program may be a good fit for:

• soccer players preparing for the season

• athletes who want to improve agility and change of direction

• players who need better landing and deceleration control

• athletes who want stronger lower-body balance and confidence

• youth returning to structured training after time away from sport

• players who want a more guided, movement-focused summer program

This group is appropriate for athletes who are generally participating in sport and can tolerate supervised group activity. Some athletes with current pain, a recent injury, or more complex issues may be better suited for an individual assessment first.

What We Focus On

Agility and Change of Direction
Soccer demands repeated acceleration, deceleration, cutting, repositioning, and quick directional shifts. We work on movement patterns that support cleaner and more efficient direction changes.

Typical Session Structure

Each session follows a structured 60-minute format:

​

• 5 minutes: arrival, check-in, and briefing

• 8 minutes: group warm-up

• 40 minutes: 5-station circuit completed in pairs

• 5 minutes: short whole-group finisher

• 2 minutes: wrap-up and home focus

This structure keeps the group organized, progressive, and easy for athletes to follow week to week.
