The Syllabus

Football coaching phases include:

Ball Mastery

Ball Mastery enables our players to develop a healthy, confident relationship with the ball. Players will focus on using different parts of their feet and executing different turns, forward moves and side moves.

Twisting & Turning

The objective of Twisting and Turning is to develop the art of escape and evade. Our sessions will focus on the mechanics of turning and introduce it into realistic game situations for players to execute in their games.

Passing & Receiving

Passing & Receiving is a key technical component of the modern game. We will introduce various methods to pass to teammates and receive on different angles and parts of the foot in an array of game realistic situations.

Dribbling & Running With The Ball

Dribbling & Running with the ball aim to develop the art of ‘Survive on the ball’. Our sessions will highlight the difference between both methods and when to identify what may be the best approach.

Creating & Finishing

Creating & Finishing requires players to take risks, express themselves, and to be brave in these situations. We will introduce and encourage our players to adopt this mindset and how we can score using different methods.

Small Sided Games

Small sided games have enormous advantages for the development of young footballers. Increased ball handling time, quick decision-making scenarios and perfect setting to improve creativity and confidence.
