Session	Time	Positions
Tryout	12:00 PM — 3:00 PM	All positions

Part One · Led by EXOS Staff

EXOS Performance Block

Check-in & welcome — QR code platform sign-up, event shirt, EXOS introduction and safety brief.

EXOS activation & lift — movement preparation, activation circuit, and performance lift.

Part Two · Led by FORO SC Coaches

FORO SC Field Session

Position-specific training — goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, each with a dedicated position coach.

Full-group closing drill — all positions combined.

Closing drill. Transition small-sided games (8v8 with goalkeepers, rotating waves) place every position in game-realistic situations at once — keepers face live shots, defenders defend transitions, midfielders link play, forwards finish — letting coaches read decision-making under fatigue.
