SUCCESS STORIES

"Colin Herriot was my trainer at the youth level and taught me a great deal about discipline and on-field composure. His sessions were the best balance of fun, athleticism and technical skill development. I remember him always saying “no technique, no chance” and now playing in Europe I can see that’s spot on. I don’t know if I’d be the same player today without Colin’s training"

Rowan Browne ( Akademisk Boldklub - Denmark)

"I had the honor of having Coach Colin for 3 years and he was able to take my game to one of the highest levels. Not only did the training environment improve my technique and soccer ability but I was taught discipline, how to be a better leader and playing in adversity. I carry everything that I have learned to this day and I would not be playing college soccer without his positive influence."

Glen Jackson - Syracuse University

"Coach Colin and what he taught me, I believe has been instrumental in who I have become as a player. To this day I still think about and use the things that were taught to me through my eight years playing for Coach Colin. From starting off with the basics and juggling, to gaining a better understanding of the game through tactics, positioning, etc. He set up for success that I have been able to achieve so far in my career"

Alexander Abril - High Point University

"Coach Colin was really the first person who introduced us how to play soccer the right way. Before him, I solely relied on athleticism but he came and taught my teammates and I how to play with the ball, use the right techniques, and express ourselves on the pitch. With everything he taught me, I believe I have both the technique and skill to go very far in soccer"

Kyle Simon Virginia - Commonwealth University

"There is nothing like the Colin Herriot training environment. I have known Colin for many years and I can say he is one of the coaches out of many that has stuck with me throughout my soccer career. The trainings are competitive, hard working, and demanding, yet there is still a great balance of unity. Practicing with Colin brings out the true joy of the beautiful sport of soccer."

The IPRO Development Center is offered to boys and girls in the U9, U10, U11 and U12 age-groups. This is a club neutral program that is set up to support players with their long term development goals. Our aim is to enhance the development of our players in a high tempo and competitive training environment.

 

Our unique program was created to provide passionate younger players with an opportunity to progress and develop in a professional environment. They will receive quality instruction from nationally licensed coaches. Our innovative set up structure is tailored to teach individual skills in a fantastic and stimulating environment for every player to improve. It also allows for plays to train and have fun with high level players from other clubs in the state.  We will divide players by their current skill level during the sessions.

 

The program runs weekly practice sessions for 8 weeks in the Fall & Spring and 12 weeks in the Winter. Each training session lasts for 60 minutes. Operating as a satellite program, our academy is located in three locations to make sure that our players have minimal travel expectations. The practice locations are in Northern, Central and Southern Maryland.

Annual Friendly Festival

 

As well as the high level practice sessions, we host our Friendly Festival Event in the Spring. Friendly Festivals are multi game events that take place on one weekend between all of the players from our three IPRO Junior Academy's across the state. This unique concept allows our players to play freely and express themselves in a fun environment. This event is overseen by the IPRO coaching staff.
