Who are we?
1UP Soccer is a local soccer academy in Calgary, offering supplementary technical training for players aged from U4 to U19, and beyond. Our mission is to create top-quality players, coaches and people while creating a clear pathway for youth to excel technically in the modern game.
We aim to improve vital player habits, all while ensuring the players #EnjoyTheProcess. 1UP training sessions are full of fun, energy, and competitiveness. Our coaches are trained to be encouraging and positive, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Improve your game day performances while you fall more in love with the beautiful game.
Coaching Staff
Our Why!
At 1UP, our passion is developing players technically, tactically, physically and mentally, without forgetting that youth players need to ENJOY the process.1UP Soccer is committed to ensuring all sessions are delivered with high quality to improve each individual player. With a heavy focus on improving each player's technical ability, every 'skill' trained will always be paired with decision making. This will give each player more understanding on how to implement each technique into their games.
There will be a high focus & effort demanded from each player, all while an encouraging and FUN environment is being created. If you want to improve your confidence, you have come to the right place!
Training Menu
All sessions are carefully designed by Head Coach & Founder, Graham Fisher, alongside 1UP’s Director of Player Development and current professional player, Niko Myroniuk.
Together, they bring real experience from the highest levels of youth and professional soccer, including Graham’s 7+ years of youth and professional experience across Germany, Ireland, Spain, and England, along with his three National Coaching Licenses.
This outdoor season, we have updated our training structure to create a more advanced development environment for Westhills players. Sessions will now place an even greater focus on technical development, with a minimum of four technical stations designed to give players more time on the ball in game-realistic training activities.

Junior Coach Program
Our junior coach program is a program that we are very proud of. So far, over 300 players have had the chance to volunteer, gain work experience, and experience another side of the game - coaching! Trust us, - once you start coaching, your game as a player will improve! This program is available to player 2012 and older.
Player Groupings

Please be ready to train with players from different teams, you are all one club!
