We are specifically designed to train, mentor and develop the individual performance of youth soccer players. Own Touch is a state-of-the-art facility offering year-round training. Licensed and experienced coaches/mentors provide an environment where soccer players of all ages, club affiliations and skill levels come together to develop their “Own Touch.”
Soccer players throughout most of world, grew up playing soccer in the streets – learning finesse, control and TOUCH – all skills that improve confidence and performance. Here in America, we grow up playing on teams. Teams must focus on team tactics to win the next game. Own Touch turns that philosophy inside out and focuses on individual development. When players learn to develop their touch, they learn precision, which leads to keeping possession of the ball, which leads to opportunities to score, and win. Here at Own Touch, we are dedicated to helping our trainees master individual technical skills that will become ingrained in their athletic memory.
Own Touch is proudly club neutral! Our sole priority is the growth and development of the individual soccer player, so they can achieve their club, team, collegiate and professional goals! All of our training packages provide flexible scheduling so sessions work with your club schedule, not against it.
You will see improvement in the first and last touch, foot work, juggling, confidence on and off the pitch, work ethic, overcoming challenges, listening skills, self-motivation, and PASSION for the game.

Participation in youth soccer is growing dramatically. To keep up with the evolution of the sport, governing bodies are implementing changes in how youth soccer is taught, organized and run nationally. Although soccer professionals, parents and players alike could argue for or against many of these changes, one thing will always remain constant – the need for individual development.
The development of a well-rounded soccer player hinges upon the player’s ability to perform with the ball. This principle is reflected in Own Touch’s dedication to helping our members master individual technical skills that will become second-nature in their performance over time.
Between our original Richmond, VA facilities and the new Charlotte region facilities, Own Touch has trained over 2000 soccer players from the recreational to the professional level. To put it plainly, we help build soccer players.
