Gregg Thompson
Gregg started The Edge in 1988. He wanted to offer a program for the focused soccer player. A program that is challenging yet exciting and fun. "Our program is outstanding. The morning session is dedicated to dramatically increasing footskills and ball control. The afternoon session teaches the players tactics and finishes with an 11 vs 11 tournament game. The evening sessions are filled with small sided tournaments...giving the players a chance to use the skills and tactics they learned in the morning and afternoon sessions."
