Each student is requested to log their games for the year, with the intent to get in roughly 70 games per year. Mind you, approximately half of these games are:

• scheduled, registered games
• friendly matches, intrasquad games, stop and start type activities so the coach and team can interact and create scenarios for development.

The 70 Game chart will be viewed by staff to ensure the player is on track and complimenting the training schedule tailored for each individual.

Players are to finish 10,000 shots per year, an average of 250 shots per week. Combined with other techniques such as passing, dribbling, trapping, and heading, we will incorporate all ball skills for the player to become proficient at finishing. He/she will be able to strike the ball clean with dozens of types of shots. During the summertime, players are expected to log an additional 2,000. When a player logs enough shots, they will receive a limited edition 10k club shirt and get posted on the 10k club web page.

Players will log 4 weeks of activity, 4 times per year in their HPP Player Log. The log includes games, training, education, and fitness. Players will make entries daily allowing staff to track and provide feedback. Our aim is to maximize the player’s time on task, a fine balance between too much and not enough is weighed. Too much physical activity results in burnout and injuries. The players’ logs will be shared and will be public for other students to view.

We are big believers in viewing games, highlights, and trainings. By having the ability to visualize something vs. being lectured, we can comprehend it more efficiently and our brains can focus on the details.  “A picture is worth 1000 words”!

In addition to viewing, our athletes will cover exciting, up-to-date topics in a classroom setting such as tactics, psychology, health & wellness, and football culture.
