Sogility and St. Louis Soccer Camps Join Forces to Elevate Player Development

Sogility is excited to announce a new partnership with St. Louis Soccer Camps, aligning two player-first organizations committed to helping athletes reach their full potential. Built around shared values of intentional training, technical growth, and long-term development, this collaboration connects one of the region’s most respected camp platforms with a technology-driven training environment focused on high-rep sessions, real-time feedback, and smarter development at every level.


As Sogility expands across the Midwest, the partnership with Billiken Soccer Camps reinforces the demand for more modern, intentional approaches to player development. From youth athletes to college-bound competitors, the goal is the same: to help players train with purpose, build confidence, and prepare for what’s next, all in line with Sogility’s mission to Train Different. Get Better.


“This partnership just makes sense. The Billiken Soccer Camps staff has a long-standing reputation for building players the right way, on and off the field. Everything we’ve built at Sogility is designed to complement that approach. Together, we’re creating more opportunities for players to develop with purpose and grow through the game.” - Jess Semnacher, General Manager, Sogility St. Louis


Players and camp participants will have access to Sogility St. Louis’s technology-driven soccer training, including the Technical Soccer Zone (TSZ), TechTouch, and Circuit Training; tools designed to improve decision-making, refine technique, and meet the physical demands of the modern game. The partnership also includes youth programming and community outreach that creates meaningful connections between college players and the next generation.


“Sogility brings a modern, player-first approach to training that really complements what we emphasize at camp. The technology, the pace, the environment, it’s all designed to push players forward. We’re always looking for ways to help young athletes take the next step, and this is a fantastic resource to support that journey.” - Kevin Kalish, Director, Billiken Soccer Camps


“We’re really excited to work with Sogility. It’s a huge advantage for players to have access to high-quality training year-round. It gives them more opportunities to grow, compete, and fall in love with the process. This partnership strengthens the foundation we’re building for the next generation.” - Katie Shields, Katie Shields Soccer Academy 


“We’re extremely excited to have Sogility involved with Billiken Soccer Camps. It gives players the opportunity to train year-round, not just during camp, but in a consistent, high-quality environment that supports their development and strengthens the St. Louis soccer community. Getting 300, 400, even 500 touches in a short session is an unbelievable opportunity and that kind of repetition can truly transform a player’s game.” - Kevin Stoll, Billiken Soccer Camps

This partnership is part of Sogility’s broader mission to provide smarter development, stronger mentorship, and more connected pathways, from first touches to the next level and beyond.

Trainer Spotlight: Meet Sogility Westfield’s Allan Ramirez

December 2, 2025
At Sogility, our trainers are more than coaches, they’re mentors, motivators, and role models who help athletes discover their potential. This month, we’re excited to spotlight one of our dedicated Sogility Westfield trainers: Allan Ramirez. A Unique Soccer Journey Allan’s soccer story begins in Mexico City, where he was born and developed an early passion for the game. Unlike many players who rise through traditional youth club systems, Allan’s path looked very different. He only played one year of high school soccer and never played travel or club soccer growing up. Instead, he sharpened his skills in local adult leagues at a young age. His determination and love for the sport propelled him forward, eventually leading him to play semi-pro for multiple seasons and earn opportunities to try out for professional clubs. Allan’s unconventional path is proof that there is no single way to pursue the game, and that passion can take you far. 

Holiday Break Soccer Plan: Staying Sharp While School’s Out

November 23, 2025
Holiday breaks can disrupt a player’s rhythm, but they can also be the perfect time to reset, refocus, and make meaningful progress. With the right approach, players can return to winter training sharper, stronger, and more confident—without sacrificing time with friends and family. At Sogility, we believe the holiday period is one of the most underrated training windows of the year. Here’s how to make the most of it. 1. Schedule Quick, Efficient Sessions Training during the holidays doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. Short, intentional sessions are not only easier to fit into a busy schedule, they’re incredibly effective for skill retention. Try aiming for: 3–4 sessions per week 20–30 minutes each Focused work on technique, speed of play, and ball familiarity These bite-sized sessions help maintain sharpness without burning players out. A few minutes of ball mastery or first-touch work done consistently over the break can have a huge impact once formal training resumes. Pro Tip: Pair a quick technical session with a simple fitness component—such as sprints, agility ladders, or core work—to stay game-ready as you enjoy holiday meals and downtime. 2. Take Advantage of Indoor Time Winter weather isn’t always friendly to outdoor training, but the holidays provide excellent opportunities to get creative indoors. You don’t need a full field to develop high-level skills—just a ball and a small space. Great indoor activities include: Focused work on technique, speed of play, and ball familiarityBall mastery (toe taps, inside–outside touches, sole rolls) Footwork ladders or cone patterns to develop agility Quick wall passes to improve first-touch and reaction speed Target passing using laundry baskets, tape squares, or furniture as safe targets Indoor training is especially helpful for developing control, coordination, and quick feet, skills that translate directly to better performance in small-sided play and high-pressure moments. Bonus Idea: Parents and siblings can join in, turning quick sessions into fun family challenges. This keeps training lighthearted and enjoyable during the holiday season. 3. Keep It Fun The holidays are a time to relax, recharge, and reconnect with the joy of playing soccer. Keeping training fun during the break helps players stay motivated and rediscover their creativity. Try adding: Trick-shot or accuracy competitions 1v1 games with friends or siblings Freestyle or juggling challenges Fun play builds confidence and improves problem-solving skills on the field—the type of creativity coaches love to see. Remember: When players enjoy the game, their technical development accelerates naturally. 4. Use Technology to Track Progress One of the biggest advantages of holiday break training is the ability to measure improvement in a short window of time. At Sogility, our tech-enhanced training stations are built for exactly this. With these tools, holiday break doesn’t just maintain your level, it elevates it. Players return to team training with sharper touches, quicker reactions, and increased confidence. Holiday Advantage: Most players slow down during winter break. Using tech-enhanced training gives you a competitive edge heading into winter and spring seasons. Final Thoughts: Make the Holidays Your Growth Season The holiday break is a valuable opportunity, not a setback. With short, targeted sessions, indoor creativity, fun-focused play, and Sogility’s training technology, players can make meaningful progress while still enjoying the season. Final Thought Whether you’re preparing for tryouts, winter league, or spring soccer, staying active during the holidays ensures you return with momentum, not rust.
