2019 - 2020 Program Details This winter training program is designed to meet the needs of all youth players looking to improve their skills in the winter months. This
ten week program will focus on three core areas of development:
1. Improving players ability to receive the ball with varying technique, in relation to the situation they are in
2. Improving all aspects of players footwork, including ball manipulation, attacking space, turning, accelerating, decelerating, and creating space
3. Improving the ability to be creative with short range passing, including working on combination play, first time passing, and use of different shape on passes
Players will train with a specific coach for the entire session, and then rotate to a different coach the following week, ensuring they gain the value of working with a diverse set of coaches. Each week the specified topic will progress, allowing players to develop within that area of the game. The coach to player ratio is a very important consideration for First Touch Soccer Academy.
These sessions will take place at Montclair Kimberley Academy, Middle School Campus, located at 201 Valley Road, Montclair.
