First Touch Soccer Academy (FTSA) is proud to introduce a brand-new addition to our Winter Training Academy — the Advanced Tactical Training Clinic.

This exciting program is designed for serious and committed players who want to take their game intelligence to the next level. Unlike traditional training sessions that focus solely on technical development, this clinic emphasizes decision-making in dynamic, game-related environments. Players will be challenged to think faster, read the game more effectively, and apply tactical solutions under pressure.

Each week, sessions will build progressively around our Tactical Model, covering:

• Attacking Principles through 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 3v3, 4v2, 4v3, and 4v4 scenarios

• Defensive Principles with a focus on the role of the First and Second Defender

• Attacking in Transition, teaching players how to quickly turn defense into attack

Led by FTSA’s experienced coaching staff, the Advanced Tactical Training Clinic ensures players gain a deeper understanding of small group tactics while developing confidence, creativity, and composure on the field.

Spaces are limited to maintain an optimal learning environment. Don’t miss the chance to sharpen your tactical awareness this winter and gain the edge over the competition!
