Question 1

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Programs are priced by track (group vs. private 1-on-1) and how many days a week your child trains, billed by season (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer). Group training costs meaningfully less than private club training; private mentorship is our premium option. Coach Fernando walks you through exact numbers for your child's track on the free 15-minute call — no pressure, and you'll get the real price before you commit to anything.

Question 2

What ages do you take? My kid is 7 — I saw “ages 8–12” somewhere.

Accepted Answer

We coach every age: Tinies (under 5), Pre-Foundations (ages 5–7), Foundations (ages 8 and up), Performance (advanced/committed players), and Goalkeeper training at any age. So yes — a 7-year-old is exactly who Pre-Foundations is for, and total beginners are expected, not just tolerated.

Question 3

My child has never played on a team and is shy. Is this right for them?

Accepted Answer

Totally normal — many of our kids start exactly like that. Coaches work with each child individually at their level. Nobody has to “try out,” and the first step doesn't involve your child at all — it's a phone call with you.

Question 4

Where exactly do you train?

Accepted Answer

We train in Valley Stream, Lynbrook, Rockville Centre, and Garden City (South Nassau County). Your child's exact field depends on their group and season — you'll get the specific location before your first session, on the free call.

Question 5

When are sessions? We're a working family.

Accepted Answer

Each group has set training days that change with the season (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer). Because days vary by age group and level, the honest answer is: tell Fernando your schedule on the free call and he'll tell you which groups fit it — before you commit to anything.

Question 6

What is the “free 15-minute call”? Do I bring my kid?

Accepted Answer

It's a free phone call between you (the parent) and Coach Fernando. Your child does not attend, doesn't try out, and isn't judged. Fernando asks about your kid, answers your questions (including price), and recommends the right group. 15 minutes, no commitment.

Question 7

What happens after the call?

Accepted Answer

If it sounds like a fit: (1) your child does a simple assessment so we place them in the right group and level, (2) you complete the agreement and the assessment fee, (3) your child gets the app and joins their group's schedule. You can stop at any step.

Question 8

¿Hablan español?

Accepted Answer

Sí. Coach Fernando y varios de nuestros coaches son bilingües — puede hacer la llamada gratuita completamente en español. Our coaching values are bilingual by design: Confianza, Responsabilidad, Habilidad, Pasión.

Question 9

What if we miss a session — are there makeups?

Accepted Answer

Life happens — tell your coach as early as you can. Makeup options depend on your child's group and the season's schedule, so ask Fernando how makeups work for your specific track on the free call, and he'll give you the real policy rather than fine print.

Question 10

Does my child need to be on a club team already?

Accepted Answer

No. We coach total beginners through competitive club players. Many families use Tiempo instead of a team as their starting point; many club families use us as supplemental training to develop faster than team practice alone allows.

Question 11

How is Tiempo different from a club or travel team?

Accepted Answer

Clubs optimize the team; we optimize your child. Tiempo is individual-first development: each athlete is placed by phase (not just age), evaluated on our 6 R's, and progressed through levels (RED learn → BLUE master → BLACK execute), with at-home work and accountability through our app. Most of our athletes also play for a team — we make them better on it.

Question 12

Which program is right for a 12-year-old?

Accepted Answer

Age alone doesn't decide it — phase does. A 12-year-old could fit Foundations or, if they're a committed club player, our Performance track. That placement question is literally what the free call and assessment are for; Fernando will tell you straight which one fits.
