sports
Soccer training, speed and agility coaching, private and semi-private sessions, camps and clinics, personal training, and wellness programs, all on indoor turf in Menasha, WI, for athletes ages 6 through adult.
Wisconsin Academy of Sports runs a full slate of training programs for athletes ages 6 through adult: soccer training, speed and agility coaching for any sport, private and semi-private sessions, camps and clinics, and personal training and wellness programs, all on indoor turf in Menasha, WI.
Every Program Builds Toward the Next Level
Soccer
Wisconsin Academy of Sports offers soccer training for players ages 6 to 17, plus adult sessions for players sharpening their game or getting back into it. Group programs range from Kick-Start, an introduction to ball control and movement for younger players, to Mastering the Ball, which builds first touch, dribbling, and passing skills for more advanced players, along with soccer-specific speed training and goalkeeper training.
Every program pairs technical skill with tactical understanding, because both take real reps to build. Sessions run on indoor turf, so a Wisconsin winter is never a reason to miss training, and players who want more individualized attention can move into private or semi-private sessions.
Speed & Performance
Speed and performance training applies to every sport: soccer, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, track, and more. Our program is built around five things: multi-directional speed, strength, explosive power, core stability, and coordination. Group sessions create a team-like environment where athletes push each other while building skills that translate directly to game performance.
We test and train with the same equipment used at the college and pro level. Vald Speedgates measure acceleration and sprint times with real precision, Vertimax Raptors add resistance to build explosive power, and Blazepods sharpen reaction time under fatigue. Every athlete gets a baseline test, a plan built around the results, and follow-up testing to show real progress.
College Soccer
Training
College Soccer Prep is built for high school players working toward playing at the next level, whether that's Division I, II, or III. Training combines technical skill, tactical understanding, and speed and performance work, the combination that separates players who get noticed from players who don't. Sessions are built around each athlete's strengths, weaknesses, and target level of play.
Our coaching staff has 11 years of collegiate-level experience and has helped numerous players go on to play Division I, II, and III soccer. That experience means we know what college coaches look for, and we build training plans around it, not generic drills.
Our mission
Wisconsin Academy of Sports is dedicated to making a difference in every athlete’s life, through athletic training programs designed to help him/her achieve his/her goals. Through a comprehensive series of evaluations, testing, training and sports development opportunities, our athletes are exposed to the latest concepts in sports training.
Our goal is to have our athletes take what is learned about their bodies and convert it into “real sport situations and movements.”

What Our Clients Say
Carl and his staff got my son ready for varsity soccer, and I am very pleased with the results. I also have my daughter go there for some all-around fitness, and she enjoys the staff and the different circuits they do. Both my children really enjoy Carl's dedication. Our family would recommend Carl and his facility/staff to everyone.

High-quality coaching! My daughter had increased confidence and a noticeable difference in her skills since training at WAS and in a short period of time. I would recommend WAS to anyone regardless of level. The facility is clean, and the staff are always professional.
