JUNIORS CURRICULUM

The advanced training environment is the stepping stone to our full day curriculum, thus a simpler version of that. It has been designed to improve a players decision making under pressure while adding to and enhancing their technical tool box. Our curriculum has been specifically designed allowing the game to be the teacher and the coach the guide. The percentage of technical work is greater at the younger ages. The junior curriculum places a high emphasis on 1v1 through 4v4 and allows the players to understand and play within the four moments of the game. Curriculum: Ball Mastery, Dribbling/Feinting 1v1 games, technical training, transition games, fun games incorporating the ball, champions league small sided matches.
