Guide FAQ
Is the guide really free?
Yes. No cost, no obligation to book afterward. It's meant to be a useful first step whether or not you enroll.
How do I get it after I submit my email?
It's emailed straight to you, so check your inbox (and spam folder) right after submitting.
Do I need any equipment for the drills?
Just a ball. A few drills suggest cones or cans as markers, but household items work fine as substitutes.
Does reading the guide replace booking a session?
No. It's a starting point, not a substitute. Most families use it to prepare for a first Private Training session or Group Training free trial.
Put it into practice with Coach Ray
