FTC Introduces SkillMAX by Bo Eskay
SkillMAX is for players who want more touches, more confidence, and a higher technical ceiling—before the spring season even begins.

SkillMAX is a new technical training class designed and led by Bo Eskay, drawing directly from more than four decades of player development experience and a career dedicated to producing confident, technically sound soccer players.

This class is 100% about the ball. No conditioning circuits, no wasted reps, no standing in lines. Every minute is spent reinforcing and elevating a player’s ability to receive, manipulate, protect, and play the ball under pressure—the foundation of success at every level of the game.

SkillMAX is intentionally positioned as a pre-season program that ends before grass fields open, giving motivated players a critical bridge period to sharpen technique, maintain rhythm, and enter the spring season already at speed.

- Designed & coached by Bo Eskay, whose players have gone on to collegiate soccer at every level and whose philosophy emphasizes long-term technical excellence

- Relentless ball contact: high-repetition, high-quality touches every session

- Game-real technique: first touch, dribbling, ball mastery, turning, passing precision, aerial control, and ball striking 

- Fast tempo, high engagement in a focused indoor environment

- Limited class size to ensure each player receives appropriate attention, feedback, and meaningful repetitions

SkillMAX is a serious training environment. Players are expected to arrive ready to work, stay engaged, and maintain focus throughout the session so the group can train at a high level and maximize development time.
