WHU and 1UP Soccer are extremely pleased and excited to announce that 1Up Soccer training sessions will be included in WHU’s program fees for the forthcoming season. WHU is providing this service at no incremental cost to our members in place of regular academy sessions, and we believe that this relationship will provide high-level, enjoyable skills training for our players.

1Up Soccer is Calgary’s leading academy and specializes in the provision of advanced, individual player development. 1UP blends a proper training mentality with a fun, energetic environment. 1Up recently celebrated its 5th year anniversary, and is proud to be continuing to build a training pathway for all ages and levels, including Young Grassroots, Advanced Small Group Training, One on One Training, Community, School & Club Outreach, Mentorship Programs, 1UP Discovery (Recreational), U19 Training and a men’s team competing in the Calgary United Premier League. In recent years 1Up has had many professional player successes with local Calgarians, including Theo Afework, Anna Hauer, Aribim Pepple, Victor Loturi, Will Loturi and current 1Up Coach, Niko Myroniuk (Cavalry FC).

Our Technical Director, Gerardo Sosa, had the extraordinary opportunity to participate in the BeMagistral program in Spain, and has developed an exclusive Coach Training program for our staff and parent coaches. It has been highly praised for its quality content, which is over and above the minimum coaching requirements of CMSA.

Extra time on the ball, individualized progress goals, and small-group training are featured in this new program led by Coach Christian Arroyo. A selection of players, varying in skill levels, from different teams each week will join in for these specialized sessions that will enhance each player’s aptitude, confidence, and overall comfort level on the field.

VEO is an exciting new specialized tool for recording games, giving teams the advantage of analyzing and discussing their accomplishments and areas for improvement. Each CMSA team will have 1-2 video sessions included in their season.

WHU is well-known for our welcoming club environment of support, encouragement, and that feeling of family. From tournaments to wrap-up parties, player team building events to coach and team manager training/support groups, we encourage all members to share the WHU community feeling, both on and off the field.
