It is a 5 session training program in which 10 sessions will be offered (5 in O’Fallon and 5 in Edwardsville). Therefore you can choose any 5 dates and location that best fit your schedule. Feel free to double up on your favorite topics or the ones you need the most work on.

EFT testimonial : 9/7/2007

A quick word of thanks. My son Patrick tried out this evening for the USA academy. This is a nation wide team that is being put together to play overseas. He competed with boys from all over the ST Louis area. One of the drills that they had them perform was with the speed ladder. I know for a fact that some of the boys have and are currently are taking training with acceleration Fitz Morris ect. Even though Patrick had not trained with ladder in about 6 months he looked the best. Why because of your Eliteft program! Accerleration is $900 per session Eliteft is <$100. The end result is the Eliteft kid was the best at the drill! Thanks again for all you do and we will continue to train with you because Eliteft is the BEST!

RCFC's Dahlmann overcomes injury to lead Crusaders
Posted: Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Dana Dahlmann wanted to play soccer in the Southeastern Conference.

Her big chance to impress came at a camp at the University of Kentucky last summer. One problem. Because of a pesky neck injury, Dahlmann, Althoff's star defender, couldn't head the ball. At all.

"It's such a big aspect of my game, especially as a defender, it's something you have to do well," Dahlmann said. "So when you take that out, I didn't feel complete in my game."
