Resilience

During the Foundation Phase, we aim to create players who are comfortable in applying the technical aspects of the game to help each individual stay on the ball/Keep possession. We have a unique technical curriculum with over 120 skills and focused on 7 main areas of technical development Receiving, Passing, Shooting, Defending, Attacking, Heading, and Possession which comes from 14 years working at professional academies. We mainly focus on making a well rounded player who can receive under pressure, play passes with detail and create scoring opportunities, we try to incorporate shooting & finishing drills into sessions for enjoyment.

These sessions are designed for the advanced players looking to bridge the gap between grassroots talent and being a signed academy player. Our focus is on players taking responsibility to create attacking moments through overload situations or being able to defend in underload situations. Decision-making is a key attribute to success in these moments. As players begin to transition to the 7v7 version on the game we use this format for development.

Academy Training

As players begin to show more maturity and understanding of the game with a few years of experiences to recollect; we offer more layers to team play, introduction to longer passes, Unit-specific work, and 6 different variations of possession drills.

We introduce a wider range of passing techniques to either retain possession or continue the flow of an attacking moment. So many coaching companies and individuals do not fully understand the variations in possession drills such as Rondo (Keep ball but can be used to improve technical development), break out possessions are used to draw an opponent out of their shape to create an attacking moment else where on the field of play. Our shooting / finishing drills replicate attacking moments not the old school pass into the coach who sets the ball and your child shots from central areas.
