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.

Warm-Up

Our warm-ups are a set of four low intensity exercises emphasizing basic ball control, 1v1 moves and footwork. After each drill is a stretch to ensure proper muscular progression.

Technical Skill

Our technical skills incorporate all essential elements such as ball control, receiving, passing, shooting into simple and fun small group drills. You can easily monitor success and decrease your demands on the players to allow more effective skill development.

Fitness Drill

Aerobic, anaerobic, speed, strength are developed while executing basic skills, thus more accurately reflecting game situations than traditional fitness training without ball. For the most part, players don't even realize that they are in a fitness drill.

Tactical Drill

Our tactical drills are mainly small group exercises. They are based on fundamental tactical aspects of the youth game and support all systems of play and game tactics. General aspects of defense, midfield and attacking models are trained in small functional units.

Scrimmage

The scrimmages at the end of the session bring together all the elements of the prior drills. They are fun and a reward for the work so far.
