TECHNICAL IMPORTANCE
These Camps are catered to improve the technical ability of the player. We break the curriculum down to focus on 1 or more technical aspects of the game.
SKILLS SCHOOL
Ball control and technical cleansing of skills such as dribbling, passing, striking, heading, and shooting.
Dribbling in its basic form is an essential skill for every player to have. The ability to run with the ball close to the feet and be able to look up to see what is happening on the field around them is crucial. The more skilled the player becomes, the more advanced they will become in dribbling techniques, thinking of new ways to get around their opposition.
Passing allows your team to keep possession of the ball and find holes in the opposing team’s defense. As a team, try to keep the ball moving and spread the defense, taking advantage of open spaces.
Strong finishing can make all the difference between good scoring chances and goals. Developing solid shooting skills involves a small list of mechanical and mental items to perfect.
Heading can be used to pass, shoot, or trap the ball. Soccer heading techniques are vital for air power in the game of football. The team that dominates in the air can win the ball in the vital danger zone in front of the six yard box both when defending and attacking, and that team can win the ball from long goal kicks. Heading skills also enable a team to use the long ball tactic bombarding the opposition with long passes towards their penalty area.
“NETBUSTERS” STRIKERS CAMP
Scoring goals!! We will give players ideas on type of finishes to use and maximizing the shots:goal ratio. Players will improve their decision making in front of the target. Should I use power? Can I use swerve to beat the goalkeeper? Where is the goalkeeper placed? Is there an opportunity to attack the goalkeeper 1v1? What angle should I approach the goal at? There are many questions players have to answer in a split second as the game is in full flow. Correct repetition can make these decisions not only natural but instinctive.
SOCCER SPEED AND AGILTY CAMP
Speed and power are becoming essential tools for the complete player. We work on the pure and technical speed of the player. There are many factors which influence the pace at which one performs on the field. They include reflexes, tactical anticipation, agility and so on. Playing at high pace is increasingly important at the more competitive levels. Our effective speed training program incorporates realistic aspects from the game. It is just as important to practice change of direction, acceleration, and above all, speed with the ball.
CONDITIONING CAMP
To play the game with intensity from start to finish the player must be conditioned to handle the demands placed on the body. Soccer, at any age is a physical game. It involves running. It involves twisting and turning. It involves jumping and kicking and tackling. And as young players mature, the stresses and strains of the competitive environment become greater and greater. Not only can conditioning for juniors and youths be perfectly safe, done correctly it’s the best way to prevent injury and set up a long, successful career.
GOALIE CAMP
Specific activities for goalkeepers. Professional Goalkeeping staff will provide the specialist training in a small group setting.
