FTSA Game Intelligence Test

First Touch Soccer Academy offers players and teams the opportunity to test their game intelligence. Coaches often refer the need for players to be 'savvy' and 'smart' on the field. In addition we train players to make good decisions, but rarely test their ability in a formative manner. FTSA provides this tool. It is common place to test a players physical and technical traits but rarely do coaches have the means to test a players 'game intelligence'. As a published author in the field of game intelligence in soccer Rob Leather has the necessary expertise to provide players and coaches this unique opportunity.
