U11/U12 Advanced Technical Development

Winter Training 2011/2012
Teamworks/Northborough

The cycle of advanced technical development will be used to ensure that each child finishes the 4 week program as a more accomplished player than when they joined. The program curriculum and philosophy will provide a compelling soccer experience for the elite player.

 
The Cycle will include:

1. Ball manipulation and ‘1st Touch’

Ball manipulation and ‘1st Touch’ is the foundation of every player's development and becomes essential to progress. Each step is integral to each other and player improvement is achieved as the techniques at each level become more challenging.

2. Speed Mobility & the 3 ‘A’s

Training games with and without the ball to develop:
Agility – Acceleration - Awareness

3. Receiving, Passing & Decision Making

Exercises and games to improve and embed a good 1st touch and to execute accurate and creative passing in attack and defensive situations.

4. Individual Attack and Defending Techniques

Exercises and games that focus on 1v1, 2v2 individual game situations, space creation and successful outcomes against disciplined defenses.

5. Goal scoring & Finishing

Exercises and games that improve technique and encourage instinctive play around the goal.

6. Group Combination Play

Exercises and games that improve small group play with emphasis on quick break counter attacks & transition play.
