CHINO HILLS, Calif.,
Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TOCA
Football, Inc., a soccer-focused, technology-enabled experience
company, celebrates the grand opening of its newly acquired and
renovated training center in Chino Hills,
California. The 24,000-square-foot soccer facility known as
TOCA Chino Hills is located at
15221 Fairfield Ranch Road and features two playing fields as well
as a sport court.
TOCA aims to transform the sports experience and build
communities that inspire everybody to play. The facility has been
completely renovated and modernized into a state-of-the-art
training and playing space that includes 10 interactive
high-performance TOCA Studios, two full-size indoor fields and a
sport court futsal field. It also has smaller spaces for
technology-assisted coaching and experiential training
programs.
TOCA Chino Hills features the
company's patented Touch Trainer, which is an innovative ball
delivery machine that provides a dynamic authentic training
experience with varying ball speed and direction. It integrates
with a mobile training app so players and coaches can track
progress and learn from data trends.
TOCA acquired the former Spin Indoor Soccer facility in late
2019 and upgraded the interior to meet TOCA training program
standards. The new TOCA facility has its Grand Opening Event on
Saturday, February 29, 2020.
Celebrations start at 9:30 a.m. with
a public official reception and ceremony at 12:30 p.m.
The grand opening celebration includes:
- Demos of the TOCA Touch Trainer begin at
9:30 a.m. and continue throughout the
day.
- Demos of TOCA Juniors and Strikers programs for
children ages 15 months to 8 years old.
- Caitlyn Schrepfer,
the number one soccer freestyler in the U.S., will show off her
skills at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 12
p.m.; and will be signing autographs from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. with two "surprise" starting
players from an L.A. based professional team.
- Demos of futsal, an indoor version of
soccer played on a smaller field, will run continuously from
4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Complimentary coffee, bagels, donuts and
local artisan sandwiches are available all day.
As part of the facility's future, TOCA will host TOCA Juniors
and Strikers, TOCA individualized training, evening league play and
camps. Additionally, the facility can be rented for private parties
and events.
"This is an exciting time for us as we expand in our own
backyard here in Southern
California," said Yoshi
Maruyama, TOCA's CEO. "The region's interest in soccer runs
deep with two professional teams in the area and lots of school and
recreational league teams. We're looking forward to helping players
refine their skills, up their game and reach their goals while
building friendships and community in ways the soccer industry has
yet to witness."
The Costa Mesa-headquartered
company has expanded from its humble roots in founder Eddie Lewis's garage in 2014 and employs more
than 250 people today. The company began opening its own facilities
in 2012, building from the ground up or acquiring and redeveloping
existing businesses. TOCA owns 12 properties in Southern California, the Pacific Northwest and
metro Atlanta, and has 18
affiliates throughout the country. TOCA also operates TOCA Academy,
a school-based program that introduces potential customers to use
the technology for training and scrimmages – and enables the
company to assess market interest and opportunity in potential
locations.
"TOCA's business model will hinge on owning and operating
training facilities, so the company is able to deliver exceptional
soccer experiences for individuals and groups," said Maruyama. "We
plan to move beyond sports training to provide a comprehensive
soccer experience and will announce further acquisitions and
expansions in the coming months. This is the start of that
expansion and we're excited to be able to move as fast as we did
here in Chino Hills."
