Calvert County isn’t the kind of place where players have always had easy access to elite individual coaching. Prince Frederick, Dunkirk, Chesapeake Beach, Owings, Huntingtown, and Lusby are spread across a county where the soccer community is passionate but geographically dispersed and the specialized coaching infrastructure that exists in more urbanized parts of the DMV simply hasn’t been available locally.
What that means in practice is that talented Calvert County players have often developed through team-based environments alone. They’ve played a lot of games and participated in a lot of team practices. What many of them haven’t had is a coach working with them individually, fixing the specific technical habits that are holding them back, and building the skills that would move them to the next level.
Touch Lab Soccer Training changes that. Coach Paul Jackiewicz brings professional, USSF-licensed one-on-one coaching directly into Calvert County. The training comes to your community. Your athlete develops on a field near home, on a consistent schedule, without a long drive eating into their week.

The Long Game: Building a Player From the Ground Up
Because many Calvert County players are coming to private training with strong effort and team experience but limited individual technical work, Coach Paul often approaches these sessions with a ground-up development philosophy. Rather than patching surface-level issues, he builds the technical foundation from the core outward.
That means the early sessions for many Calvert County players focus on:
Ball mastery. The ability to control the ball quickly and comfortably in any direction, at any speed, without having to think about it. Players who haven’t had consistent ball mastery training often have a narrower comfort zone with the ball than they realize and fixing this unlocks every other skill.
Body position and orientation. Where a player’s body is pointed when they receive the ball determines what they can do next. Many youth players in lower-competition environments have never been coached on this. A single session can produce an immediately visible improvement.
Weak foot development. One-footedness is one of the most limiting and most correctable characteristics in youth players. Starting this work early before habits harden is one of the highest-value investments a Calvert County family can make in their child’s long-term soccer development.
Decision speed. Recreational and lower-level club environments often don’t require fast decisions. Private training accelerates the player’s mental clock, helping them recognize and respond to situations the way competitive-level players do.

Frequently Asked Questions: One-on-One Training in Calvert County
Why doesn’t Touch Lab have a training location based directly in Calvert County?
Touch Lab is a mobile coaching service, which means Coach Paul comes to a field or park near you rather than requiring families to travel to a fixed facility. This matters especially in Calvert County, where specialized private coaching has historically been harder to find locally than in more urbanized parts of the DMV. Instead of asking Calvert families to make a long drive for individual training, the training comes to them.
How far into Calvert County will Coach Paul travel?
Touch Lab trains players throughout Calvert County, including Prince Frederick, Dunkirk, Chesapeake Beach, Owings, Huntingtown, and Lusby. Sessions within 30 minutes of Upper Marlboro carry no travel fee. Locations 30 to 45 minutes out add a $25 travel fee, and locations 45 minutes or more add a $35 travel fee. Because Calvert County stretches out geographically, travel time can vary quite a bit between towns, so confirm your zone when you book.
My child has played rec or travel soccer for years but never had private coaching. Where does training start?
This is one of the most common situations Coach Paul sees in Calvert County, players with real game experience but little to no individual technical development. Rather than jumping straight into advanced tactics, early sessions typically start with ball mastery and body orientation, the foundational pieces that team practices rarely have time to isolate and correct. Building from there tends to produce faster, more lasting improvement than skipping ahead.
Is weak foot training included in every session, or do we need to request it?
Weak foot development is a standard part of Coach Paul’s approach, not an add-on. Since one-footedness is one of the most common and most correctable limitations in youth players, it’s typically woven into regular sessions rather than treated as a separate focus. If your child has a specific weak foot goal, mention it when booking so Coach Paul can prioritize it more heavily.
Calvert County doesn’t have as many club programs as some neighboring counties. Will that put my child behind?
Not if the individual development is there. Team access and game experience matter, but a lot of a player’s ceiling comes down to technical foundation, decision making speed, and comfort on the ball, all of which can be built through consistent one-on-one training regardless of what club infrastructure exists nearby. Several Calvert County families use private sessions specifically to close that gap before their child moves into more competitive club environments.
What parks or fields in Calvert County do sessions typically use?
Sessions are held at parks and recreational fields throughout the county, with Calvert County Parks and Recreation maintaining several options. Coach Paul works with each family to find a location that’s convenient and has the space needed for the session, so the exact field can vary by neighborhood.
Do you offer sessions during the week, or mainly weekends given the drive from Upper Marlboro?
Both. Weekday evening and weekend sessions are available in Calvert County, though weekend and early evening slots tend to fill up fastest. Booking a recurring weekly time or a session package helps guarantee a consistent slot rather than competing for single session availability week to week.
