ASTRA is excited to carry-on with our Adult Skills sessions for women in the New Year for 6 weeks for Jan. - Feb. 2023.
Our next 6 week sessions (once per week) start on Jan. 9th and will run until Jan. 13th. All three levels offered, Advanced - Intermediate - Skill Builder, will run on Monday nights from 8-9:15 pm at the ASTRA Training Centre, 630-56th Street East.
Note - Skill levels will be trained in separate groups based on participants registration where separate group numbers have 8 or more registrants (i.e. Skill builder for less experienced player in one group, Intermediate in a separate group, and Advanced in a separate group). Groups will rotate with their coach through the various training areas of the ASTRA Training Centre.
Registration Deadline for all three levels is Friday, Jan. 6th by midnight! See links in the information below here or on our ASTRA website through the page link above.

Feedback from past participants!:
“These sessions are so fun and such a great workout. I have really missed training now that I’m in adult soccer and only play games so these sessions are a great way to brush up on skills and learn new ones in a fun environment. All of the coaches offer a wealth of coaching experience, are very engaging, and able to cater the sessions to different skill levels and experience. Whether you're new to soccer, or an experienced player, I would highly recommend the adult ASTRA sessions.”

Thank you so much to all of the Astra staff and coaches for offering these sessions. I love love love them!! Like I had mentioned earlier in the survey the only thing I would prefer is longer sessions. Perhaps an hour of warm up/skills and then a half hour scrimmage. Obviously this would be at an increased cost which I would be happy to pay. I especially liked the physically demanding sessions. It would be great if eventually there were enough participants to separate the sessions by skill level. I really miss training competitively and love being challenged in a physically demanding session. The coaches were all excellent and the training environment is so great. Thank you so much!
