With long-standing personal connections and over 45 years of experience in youth, college, and professional coaching, as well as college placement, Bruce Talbot and Houston FC are excited to host this two-day combine, which has drawn more than 75 college coaches over the past five years.

The combine includes four sessions. The first day will have training sessions in the morning and afternoon. The second day will have a training session in the morning and a series of scheduled 11v11 games in the afternoon. Each session will last 1.5 to 2 hours and will focus on technical and tactical skills, along with speed, agility, and strength. Activities will include individual drills, small-sided games, and full-field exercises. Every session will conclude with a Q&A segment where college coaches address tactical, technical, psychological, and physical aspects of the game. Players are not only showcased but also exposed to the standards and expectations of the attending collegiate coaches.

Players are expected to bring cleats, running shoes, shin guards, an HFC training kit or plain white shirt, and water.

Please note that these are competitive training sessions for prospective collegiate soccer players. Players aged 16 and under who are not yet ready are encouraged to contact Coach Connor for more information about our academy and youth camps.
