Xtra Time Soccer Development

Who We Are
Xtra Time is an individual soccer training and development centre located in Waterloo, Ontario, built to support youth soccer players in developing technical skill, physical capability, confidence, and a lifelong love for the game. 


What Makes Xtra Time Unique

Industry-Leading Training Technology

We use cutting-edge systems like ICON and A-Champs boards that deliver objective, immediate feedback on every drill. Players don’t just repeat drills — they measure improvement and compete against their own best performance. 

Individualized Growth — At Better Value

Training is done in small groups (3–4 players) so every player receives focused coaching like a 1-on-1 session, but at a more affordable price and with the engagement benefits of small-group competition. 

Trackable Progress

Players receive data-driven results that help them:
• Set goals
• See measurable improvement
• Understand strengths and areas for growth
This appeals to players and parents who want real progress, not just practice. 


Who We Serve

Young Players (U8–U12):
Through our flagship Skills Lab program, younger players build foundational technical skills — such as passing, receiving, turning, scanning, and first touch — in a structured, consistent way. 

Ages 7+ Players:
Flexible Book-A-Session options let players train when it suits them — paying per session or buying packages for long-term development. 

Teen Athletes (U13+):
Our Speed & Strength Training sessions focus on athletic development — enhancing mobility, speed, and strength to elevate on-field performance. 

Camps & Events:
High-performance camps (e.g., March Break Training Camp) bring intensive, advanced training for dedicated players preparing for competitive seasons.
