Each practice plan follows the sequence of warm-up, soccer technical (skill) drill, fitness drill, tactical drill and scrimmage. The practices have a theme that follows throughout the session. The sequencing of drills is one of the key proprietary components of our program. It has been researched, tested and proven to be extremely effective in optimum development of skill, fitness, tactical understanding and mental training.

A cornerstone of our program is the principle of including ball work in everything we do.

These practices are so unique, varied and fun that they have become the secret jewel amongst our coaches.

Warm-Up

Our warm-ups are a set of four low intensity mini-drills and fun games. They are a mix of soccer specific and general sports exercises. After each drill is a stretch to ensure proper muscular progression.

Technical Skill

Our technical skill drills are innovative games and exercises developing all essential elements such as ball control, receiving, passing, shooting. Even adult players will enjoy the change from the more normal soccer routines.

Fitness Drill

Aerobic, anaerobic, speed, strength are developed while executing ball skills, thus more accurately reflecting game situations than traditional fitness training without ball. We have taken advantage of the small space and incorporated some short distance sprinting, acceleration and quick turns without the ball.

Tactical Drill

Our tactical drills are mainly small group exercises. They are geared to the 5v5 game structure and step through many possible game situations.

Scrimmage

The scrimmages at the end of the session bring together all the elements of the prior drills. They truly focus on the 5v5 indoor game and therefore are also ideal to incorporate functional unit strategies for the outdoor season.
