SportHQ is Cary’s premier training facility with access to a variety of fields- Grass, Turf, Hardwood, and Indoor Turf. We offer youth technical soccer training programs as well as leagues and tournaments for youth and adults.
Our Technical Soccer Training focuses on sharpening fundamentals as well as developing and maintaining ongoing success for beginner to advanced players. Our year round, monthly themed training sessions last 1 hour and supplement players’ outdoor club practices during season. As a soccer player, team practices. scrimmaging, and tournaments are fun but chances are that you’re not getting enough touches on the ball. For many players, the work they get through the week is simply not sufficient when it comes to skill development.
Our goal is simple: to bridge the gap between team practices and individual development.
Our unique monthly themed training sessions are designed for players to think with an attacking mindset with and without the ball. Players, ages 6-14 of all different skill levels will be challenged, learn explosive moves and learn a different attacking mindset while playing. If your child is just starting or on the clubs top team, SportHQ is the place to bring them.
Our program is designed and coached by an experienced veteran of the game – Kupono Low. His resumé includes over 15 years of professional play, including international appearances for Puerto Rico, and 10 years with the NCFC (previously known as Carolina Railhawks). Kupono brought together his decades of playing and coaching experience into a unique and effective philosophy.
We offer a curriculum-based monthly program as well as the option of individualized personal or group trainings.

Playing futsal is one the best ways to develop your soccer skills. Futsal is a fast-paced game played with a weighted, smaller ball on a faster, harder surface. With its small court and lack of walls, players must have good ball control, precise passing and are constantly required to make quick decisions and find creative solutions. These technical and tactical challenges result in a more rapid skill development than regular soccer training. Futsal training and play dramatically improve a player’s skill set; first touch, passing skills, vision, movement off the ball, goal-scoring acumen, and split-second decision making.
Smaller teams sizes allow players to get more touches on the ball and increased opportunities to score goals. It is not uncommon for each player to have 750 ball touches during a single futsal session — which is in contrast to 60 to 90 ball touches in an outdoor soccer practice session.

Graham is a very talented trainer and advisor. We are better every time we work with him. SportHQ is a good facility for him to work in.
—Jack Wells
The Adult Strength and Conditioning class is fantastic. The trainers do a great job leading the group and pushing everyone to improve themselves. The classes are held at several different times every day, so there is plenty of flexibility to fit a class into your schedule. Highly recommend for beginners up to experienced athletes. The trainers will coach you based on your individual ability while still training as a group. Lots of fun.
