TESTIMONIALS
Hear What Coaches Have to Say
COPA is a cutting-edge experience for our program. It provides data that our staff and our players themselves wouldn't receive from the human eye. They can then take this quantitative analysis to focus on the specific areas they need to improve in. Plus, it's incredibly fun for everyone and we look forward to coming back every year."
COPA gives us the opportunity to have our team evaluated through objective measures. This shows us where they stand and how they progress against players all over the world. It also allows us to narrow the funnel in player identification. We are able to compare scores of the different evaluative tests and get data driven information to contribute to our high level player evaluation.
COPA Soccer Training Center is an amazing place. We have taken our players there several times, and they really appreciate the unique opportunity to test themselves at a world-class facility that they see on YouTube at top professional clubs in the world like Borussia Dortmund and Paris St. Germain It’s also a unique opportunity to compare themselves against top division, one and professional players, and see how they measure up.
It’s extremely important for us to get the data on these assessments and the feedback given to us is broken down in black and white. COPA STC College ID Camps provides data to college coaches with a benchmark of cognitive, physical and technical aspects of each player in attendance against college players. That information is extremely important in our future identification and analysis of prospecitive student-athletes.
