About Us
The roots
At Stricker Soccer Skills and Strength & Conditioning, we specialize in soccer skills training and strength & conditioning, offering athletes a complete development experience built on years of competitive play, coaching expertise, and sports science. Our mission is simple: to transform players at every level into stronger, smarter, and more confident athletes—on and off the field.
The why
We started this program with one goal in mind: to help young soccer players grow—not just as athletes, but as confident individuals.
As someone who came up through the soccer world, I know how overwhelming and lonely it can feel when you're trying to improve on your own. You want to get better, but you don’t always know where to start or what to focus on. That uncertainty can hold players back—not just physically, but mentally.
That’s why we created this program: to give players a clear path. When athletes train with us, they know exactly what they need to work on to improve their game. They don’t have to figure it out alone. We’ve built a system based on years of playing, coaching, and studying the game—so all they have to do is show up and work hard.
We believe in creating an environment where players feel supported, challenged, and motivated. Every session is designed to build technical skill, athletic strength, and inner confidence. Because when players grow in all three areas, they don’t just become better soccer players—they become better competitors, teammates, and leaders.
This is more than just training. It’s about building the next generation of athletes who believe in themselves and know how to put in the work to succeed.

Skyler Stricker
Soccer has been a lifelong passion for me, and I’ve had the privilege of playing at high levels of the game. I played Division 1 soccer at Liberty University and went on to compete semi-professionally with Kings Hammer FC. Before that, I developed my foundation at Solar Development Academy, one of the top youth programs in the country.
For the past five years, I’ve been a dedicated skills coach, training athletes of all ages and ability levels. I focus on helping players elevate their technical ability, confidence, and game IQ. My approach blends the same drills and techniques that shaped my development as a player with the latest performance science and coaching strategies.
I hold a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science with a focus on Strength and Conditioning, giving me a deep understanding of how to build well-rounded, sport-specific athletes. I also earned a master’s degree in Education, where I learned how to effectively teach, motivate, and connect with young athletes.
Currently, I coach at Coppell FC, where I continue to apply everything I’ve learned—on and off the field. I’ve been fortunate to be mentored by Chris Stricker, a two-time girls state champion and nationally recognized coach with nearly 30 years of experience and multiple national titles at the academy level.
Whether you're just starting or looking to reach the next level, I’m here to help you grow your game with purpose, precision, and passion.
