Each session is a 60 minute session, to make the most of our time by splitting the training into four parts:

I. Warm up/Ball work (15 mins)

II. Technical work emphasizing specific skill (example: dribbling) (15 mins)

III. Quickness and agility exercise using speed ladder, cones and min hurdles. (15 mins)

IV. Games/competition emphasizing skill work done earlier (ex- Dribbling) (15 mins)

For younger kids, I focus on building a foundation of sound fundamentals while incorporating fun games and challenges.

Areas that will be covered for this age group include:

• Passing (inside/outside of both feet)

• Receiving (both feet)

• Dribbling (both feet, turning, dribbling moves)

• Shooting (both feet, volleys)

• Quickness and agility drills

• Having fun!

For middle school students, I work on refining and advancing fundamentals, while teaching more advanced principles.

Areas that will be covered for this age group include:

• Passing (advanced includes: inside/outside of both feet, bent balls, chips)

• Receiving (advanced includes: inside/outside of both feet, thigh, chest and head (age appropriate)

• Dribbling (both feet, dribbling moves, turns, speed dribbling)

• Shooting (inside/outside/instep, volleys/half volleys)

• Quickness and agility (fast footwork exercises, speed ladder work)

• Individual attacking and defending principles 

Training sessions for older players will be structured to a player’s needs, their position, and their current level of play. Training will be high-level and appropriate for their current skill and experience with the game.

Areas that will be covered in the age group includes:

• Passing (pressure training exercises to improve all types of passing with different surfaces/passing patterns where available)

• Receiving (pressure training exercise to improve receiving with all body parts - both feet, thighs, chest & head)

• Dribbling (running with the ball, fakes and feints, turns, beating opponents)

• Heading (training proper technique)

• Shooting/Finishing (both feet, short and long range shooting, volleys, heading to goal, finishing off crosses)

• Individual and small group attacking and defending tactics (1v1, 2v1, 2v2 where appropriate)

• Advanced footwork exercises (using speed ladder, rings, mini hurdles)

• Specific training designed to prepare player for high school, club and college play
