2022 Summer Camp...July 17-19th Bay, Ohio
Testimonials
Years ago, and before her national involvement, our daughter Mia trained with Quick Hands GK. We were so pleased with not only the level of training, but the use of different methods and techniques. Mike has an impressive style and deep understanding of what it takes for each athlete to achieve their personal best. His sessions have become the perfect compliment to Mia’s national team training. She looks forward to every hour with Quick Hands and for this we are extremely grateful.

I trained with Coach Cracas for 4 years while playing collegiate soccer at Otterbein University. I participated in both group and private sessions as well as the Quick Hands Summer camps. He did a great job with adapting our sessions to my skill level and catering sessions to specific strengths and weaknesses of mine. I attribute much of my success playing collegiate soccer as a 4-year starter and Varsity Letter winner to our sessions as I think that I maintained techniques that I had mastered, while focusing on improving on areas of weakness. I think that the sessions that we had over the summers
gave me an advantage entering preseason as I had been working out and practicing all summer long before the start of the season. I felt as though leaving each session I had gotten a great workout and had improved on my skills. I would recommend training with Coach Cracas to anyone who is looking to learn or improve on their skills of being a goalkeeper.

I have worked with numerous goalkeeper coaches over my years as a player, but none had a greater impact on my growth as a player and as a person than Coach Cracas. Mike had a special way of getting the most out of me during every training session we had together. His passion for the game, and energetic coaching style grew my love for the game. He gave me the tools and techniques to become a better high school and college athlete. His infectious energy and motivating deminor drove me to be a more confident player, but also a more confident young man. I thoroughly enjoyed training with Coach throughout the years and I can’t thank him enough for his influence on my life on and off the field.

It was during the summer going into my senior year when I signed up for a summer camp with Quick Hands Training. During this camp I saw the passion and skill that Mike and his staff brought. Hearing that Mike was from Avon Lake and played for ALHS men’s soccer teams gave us a special bond, I too played for ALHS. Following the camp, I was able to schedule weekly individual trainings leading up to me senior varsity season with Mike. Mike designed trainings to help me improve on my weaknesses and drills to prepare me for game scenarios. As the season headed towards the playoffs, we picked up trainings that focused on poor field conditions that we get in northeast Ohio. The skills I developed training with Mike helped lead us to the District finals for the Southwest conference. I really wish I was able to train with Quick Hands training earlier in my career. As keepers with are often left out of training during team practices. We sit in goal during 7v7 or 11v11 practices with minimal exposer to high quality chances. Quick Hands allows you to train as a group or individually. These high quality, intense sessions grew my game to the next level in the matter of months.
