The VanCity Pro training is focused primarily on a Spanish training style that is greatly influenced by the Dutch philosophy of "Total Football". The training features a substantial amount of possession rondo-based exercises and small-sided games like those used in Spanish professional academies. Technical skill training is emphasized at an early age so that players are encouraged to develop a relationship with the ball and master close ball control, skill moves and feints.

VanCity Pro teams competes in the PACWEST Academy League and tournaments in the US. In the Under 9-12, developing individual players takes priority over developing teams. This is important for parents to understand. It means our primary focus is always on the individual player and not winning games or tournaments. Although, we continue individual player development, we supplement it within the team context. All VanCity Pro players are trained with an emphasis on developing technique and game intelligence using small sided games. We are not concerned with winning league games or tournaments, but rather observing how each player implements and exhibits the training received during the week. We are committed to a positive training environment where development of individual skills is the primary objective, and winning games is merely a byproduct of the players’ development. We are determined that every player who joins the VanCity Pro Academy will leave as not only a better soccer player, but also a better person.
