TopTekkers

As part of our commitment to the development of our players, we are going to roll out the TopTekkers Training App for each of our players. This app is used by English Premier League clubs such as Southampton FC, Sheffield United and Burnley FC for the technical development of their players.

Before you sign up to the app, please watch the following short Parent Video;

Each coach and parent will receive an onboarding email and please follow the instructions to complete your coach/parent account and your own child's account (please also check your spam) and the attached welcome pack. Please do not sign up to the app before receiving your verification email.

The TopTekkers app can be downloaded onto a phone or tablet from the Play Store/ App Store; TopTekkers.

Here are some videos guides for the app;

Parents:
Coaches: Once you have created your child’s account it will automatically be linked to your coach, and your coach can also set Individual Development Plans for each player. The players can also complete any challenges they like and submit their scores. We will also be creating leaderboards within our club!

Also you can follow the app on the following social media channels and if you record your child doing any of the technique challenges, add them to your social media account and add our club social media along with:

Instagram: toptekkersapp

Any questions please let me know and I hope our players enjoy this technical training app! 

Any onboarding issues please email help@toptekkers.club

Additional Training

Individual and Group Training
At West Des Moines Soccer Club we recognize that our players are dedicated to maximizing their soccer potential and, as a result, will often seek to accelerate their development through individual and small group private lessons.

The purpose of these very specialized private training lessons is to enable players to receive individual instruction in specific areas of the game which would be difficult to teach in a large team environment. The WDMSC is in support of player development and allow private lessons with our professional coaching staff. In an attempt to ensure that all interested players are provided with equal opportunity to participate, we have adopted the following guidelines for players and coaches.
​
For more information on the WDMSC individual, or small group, private training program contact Director of Coaching.
​Extra Play and Training
At West Des Moines Soccer Club, we encourage extra touches on ball whether that be through our training program or another venue. We have compiled a list of other facilities that offer training or competition games during the off season. We hope that your team coach or parent will coordinate your child's team to continue to play throughout the year and support this wonderful game of soccer. Please checkout the list of extra training and competition websites below:
We develop the PERSON, and then the PLAYER. We act with RESPECT, HUMILITY, and INTEGRITY at all times. We are a TEAM that requires the BEST FOR, and BEST FROM one another. We demonstrate a RELENTLESS DRIVE TO MAXIMIZE OUR POTENTIAL. We are UNCOMPROMISING in our pursuit of EXCELLENT. We are more than a soccer club; WE ARE A FAMILY.
