Youth soccer training for ages 5–17.

Andreas Chronis grew up between Queens and Greece and reached the professional game at 18, signing with AEK Athens after years in the U.S. Youth National Team pool. That experience showed him how much individual preparation and honest feedback matter as the level rises.
He founded Chronis Elite to give young players the training environment he wished he had: a place outside their club to develop with purpose, learn from coaches who know their game, and meet a high standard every time they train.
Today, our programs bring that approach to players across Long Island, Queens, and Westchester.

We train the individual player within the demands of the game. Our work with Youth National Team players and athletes competing in MLS NEXT, ECNL, and Girls Academy League informs the standards of our sessions. Technical work develops execution. Tactical work develops decisions. Mental skills help players prepare and respond under pressure. Physical work supports movement and competition. Coaches give specific feedback and build on it over time so the work has a clear direction.
With an 8:1 player to coach ratio, we focus on… Ball mastery, a clean first touch, sharp passing, and confident finishing, all developed with position-specific reps so players can execute under real game pressure.
Players learn to read the game: awareness, smart positioning, and quick decision-making so they always know the next move before the ball arrives.
We build confidence, focus, and composure so players stay resilient through mistakes, take accountability, and perform their best when the game is on the line.
