  • Technical training moves from fundamental to game-related to game condition.
  • Small-sided games and scrimmages keep the training fun and social.
  • We teach the physical: ball control, change of direction, shielding, passing, crossing, shooting.  
  • We empasize the mental: good decision-making, confidence, competitive sprit and teamwork.

FC Transylvania makes the Good player Great and the average player Very Good.

Our players receive superior professional training in skills, tactics and strategy. They also learn life values: team play, hard work, sacrifice and sportsmanship.
