• Physical conditioning
• Multidirectional speed, agility, and dynamic movement
• Balance and stability
• Dynamic movement
• Object control
• Strength
• Explosive Power
• Cardiovascular endurance

Ball Mastery clinics are designed to make each player more comfortable with the ball at their feet. Players will learn different ways to manipulate the ball using different parts of the foot and develop techniques to both control the ball and beat an opponent 1v1.

Players will target dribbling, shielding, ball control, passing, and movement on and off the ball during match conditions. Regardless if a player is a defender, midfielder or forward the Total Training clinic is ideal for a player who is looking to improve their overall match performance.

Players will practice strong shooting and finishing techniques while learning how to think with an attacking mindset all over the field. From one-time finishing to creative volleying, players learn the required mechanics and disciplines to consistently score goals and finish at different angles by anticipating the goalkeeper’s position as well as master technique.

Basic-to-advanced technical skills are learned such as shot-stopping and coaching teammates into strategic positioning. Skills including proper catching techniques, stance and angle play, diving, breakaways, distribution both from hands and feet and positional awareness.

Champion players are exposed to soccer exercises designed to improve motor skills, physical development, individual confidence, and the necessary technical building blocks for progressive soccer development. Training sessions are fun and safe yet challenging to nurture creative play, develop positive on-field characteristics, and reinforce a player’s love for the game.
