Players are inspired to develop to the best of their capabilities with the following curriculum points:

​

Individual Technical

Emphasis on a player’s ability to control the ball with all surfaces of the feet and body. Ability to pass, cross, and shoot. Ability to use feints, pull backs, and misdirection moves in 1v1 situations.

​

Team Technical

The understanding of when, where, why, and how to use specific techniques in match situations. Functional technique relates more specifically to combinations, movement, and and overall understanding of  shapes and angleswithin the game.

 

1v1+2v2
At the early stages of development and beyond, players will be challenged in trainings with 1v1+2v2 exercises. It is a critical teaching point that players are capable of taking on defenders and creating while driving into space.

​

Tactical/Cognitive
Emphasis on a player’s ability to read the game. When do I pass? When do I dribble? When do I shoot? Players must understand when and how to penetrate, how to switch, and how to reset play. Furthermore, players must understand how to press and defend as a team. Counter-pressing and counter-attack are two key principals that are discussed in training sessions.

​

Determination to Compete
Players and teams are to compete with a passion for the game. In order to develop to the highest potential, players will possess the determination to become the best version of themselves possible. Pressing, physical fitness, discipline, and respect are instilled in every session. The determination to win the ball from an opponent is equally as important as the enjoyment of possessing it.
