Est. 1997 — Westchester NY & Fairfield CT
Transylvania Gym & Soccer LLC was established in 1997
as an educational organization providing specialized youth soccer training.
Today we are one of the largest soccer training organizations in
Westchester NY & Fairfield CT counties.
Our Mission
To provide players with the highest standards of training — whether a
player’s need is an introduction to the game or the most advanced,
specialized coaching.
Our Approach
Transylvania Gym & Soccer emphasizes Progressive Soccer Training:
flexible programs for ages 4–18 with appropriate drills and games based on
age, skill level and experience. Each training session has a logical
progression moving from simple to complex.
- Technical training — fundamental → game-related → game condition
- Tactical training — unrestricted → restricted → activities with goals
- Small-sided games — team-building, self-confidence, fun and love of the game
Skills emphasized: dribbling, ball control, turning, changing direction,
shielding, passing, crossing and shooting.
