Who We Are

COPA:
Comprehensive and Objective Performance Assessments. COPA Soccer Training Center (COPA STC) is a 110,000 sq ft state‑of‑the-art soccer training wonderland located at Shadelands Sports Mall in Walnut Creek, California. COPA STC utilizes much of the world’s most advanced training and assessment technology, some of which we develop ourselves, and some of which we have exclusively licensed for use throughout North America.

We employ leading sports science techniques and advanced training methodologies in our quantitative assessment‑based approach to the development of athletes of all ages and skill levels. Our elite level coaching staff leverages objective data to develop the technical, physical, and cognitive skills of an athlete.

But it is not all just science and training workouts. COPA STC strives to provide a fun, dynamic, and supportive environment for both our employee team members, and our customers, to develop and thrive as athletes and as human beings. If you love the game and are having fun, the research shows your practice will be more effective at advancing your skills.

We are passionate about high‑performance living and the future of soccer in the United States. We believe that everyone has untapped potential within themselves and all it takes to unleash it is the right setting and mindset. COPA is the setting. Our approach encourages the right mindset. We dream big and don’t settle for the status quo. We aren’t just a company;

we are a community that is committed to growth and success. We value humility and a team-centered approach to responsibilities at every level of the company.
