Offensive Training: Developed by Team USA and Boston Cannons Attackman of the year Marcus Holman.  Sessions will focus purely on the offensive position and what it takes to be a well rounded attack men and midfielder.  Areas of focus will be (but not limited to) -- Fundamentals, stick work, shooting, feeding, dodging, shooting on the run, cutting, inside finishing and much much more.

Ethan Rall:

Now a member of the Boston Cannons, Rall pairs that background with a professional understanding of how offense and defense truly intersect. Hosting the series alongside Marcus Holman, he helps players see the game through both lenses, breaking down spacing, timing, decision-making, and the subtle adjustments that separate good players from great ones.

Rall’s approach is rooted in realism and clarity. He teaches what works at speed, under pressure, and against elite competition. The result is a clinic experience that goes beyond drills, offering athletes a rare look at how high-level players think, react, and compete on every possession.
