SKILLS TRAINING 2: BALL MOVEMENT
Working on the process of ball movement to create a player in space ready to progress play.
Our small sided games used during these sessions are design to educate the players is moving the ball in order to move opposition players and draw players in. They also focus on a key skill and mindset of being comfortable with the ball in small spaces and then helping the player recognise the moment to penetrate. Think of how a tennis player moves their opponent and then picks the moment to attempt the winner, the point is carefully constructed. A similar concept is applied to football however players need to recognise the complexities of a team environment.

SKILLS TRAINING: GOALKEEPER
Goalkeepers provide positional and numerical superiority when playing in the back third. So out goalkeeper sessions put equal emphasis on Playing without the ball (Shot stopping) and playing with the ball. The former is more traditional role of the Goalkeeper and the later a more current approach to the art of goalkeeping and you will see this approach played out every week by the top teams and top leagues over the world. This makes the GK role a lot more interesting and influential in the game.
We focus on working keepers to
- Act of a deep lying pivot
- Progress play by drawing the play forward
- Support the players from behind – move up the pitch
And we teach them to stop shots….
