What We Focus On
Our technical group sessions are built around three essential pillars every modern soccer player needs to succeed.
1 – Passing
Passing is the foundation of team soccer.
Players learn how to pass the ball accurately and with purpose, using the correct technique and timing.
Focus areas include:
- Short and long passing
- Passing with both feet
- Passing under pressure
- One-touch and two-touch play
Good passing helps players keep possession, move the ball faster, and support their teammates effectively.
2 – Control & Receiving
The first touch determines the next action.
Players learn how to receive the ball cleanly and prepare it to pass, dribble, or move forward.
Focus areas include:
- First touch with different surfaces
- Receiving the ball on the move
- Oriented control to play forward
- Controlling the ball under pressure
A strong first touch gives players more time, confidence, and options during games.
3 – Decision-Making in Small Groups
Technique only matters if players know when and how to use it.
Training in small groups teaches players how to read the game and make better decisions in realistic situations.
Focus areas include:
- When to pass, move, or keep the ball
- Playing in tight spaces
- Creating angles of support
- Quick decisions under pressure
Group situations closely replicate real match scenarios, helping players transfer skills directly into games.
Why Small-Group Technical Training Works
Training in small groups allows players to get:
- More touches on the ball
- More repetitions
- More individual coaching feedback
This leads to faster improvement in passing, first touch, and decision-making compared to large team sessions.
Small-group training also increases confidence and helps players apply skills naturally during matches.
Who This Training Is For
Technical Group Training is ideal for:
- Youth soccer players who want better ball control
- Competitive players looking to improve passing and first touch
- Players who want to make faster, smarter decisions in games
- Players who already train with a team and want additional technical development
This program is designed to complement team training, not replace it.
