Families can get a free, hands-on look at a new youth soccer training center during the Sogility Naples grand opening Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31, at 2625 Davis Blvd. in Naples. The two-day community event celebrates the company’s eighth location and its first facility in Florida.
Sogility uses a technology-driven approach to soccer training and player development. During the grand opening, guests can tour the facility, meet the training staff, watch live demonstrations, and try training environments designed to build technical ability, athletic performance, vision, and decision-making.
