The Mentorship Program is intended to provide access to training year round at an affordable monthly rate. During the off-season, players train 3 to 5 times a week and 1 to 2 times a week in-season. (In season they train on rain-out days and one or two other days to work on their Own Touch).
Own Touch offers a flat monthly fee based on heavy usage 5 to 6 months a year and light usage the remaining months. Each Mentee, at a minimum, should attend 11 sessions (team, private and semi private) per month during the off season and at least 5 sessions per month during the season. Camps and clinics offered throughout the year provide additional training.
The Mentorship Program is designed for the player who has a genuine love for the game and is motivated to excel.

6) Each Mentee will be assigned to a Mentor. That Mentor will be able to help with everything soccer related.

"Own Touch believes in an open-door policy for parents. Parents play a crucial role in the committment, time and responsibility that this type of program requires. For that reason, parents are encouraged to schedule consultations on a regular or as-needed basis with their mentor." said Greg Simmonds
