About the Programs
Development Centre Program (U4-U13):
This program is designed to develop individual techniques and confidence on the ball through a challenging and fun environment led by our full-time technical staff. Players will learn skills that are transferable to the game through a progressive training syllabus. The “TECHNICAL” aspect is the most vital. It is key to not just playing the game but impacting the game in a positive way and it forms the base of all soccer.
‘OWN THE BALL, BEFORE YOU SHARE THE BALL’
We will coach players by emphasizing the following:
- Individual ball mastery
- Individual creativity by 1v1 moves
- Turning and changing direction at speed
- Passing and receiving techniques from angles and at speed
- Decision making based games
Striker School Program (U10-U14):
The Strikers School Program, run by our highly qualified team of coaches, has been designed to support the best part of the game: 'scoring goals'. Players will develop techniques and understanding of various ways to score that will include:
- Understanding of turning to score
- 1v1 quick finishing
- Combination play to score
- Scoring from distance
- Scoring from crosses
- Scoring free kicks
This truly is GOALS, GOALS, GOALS
