The focus is on our favorite part of the game. Moves 1V1. As we discussed in previous lessons soccer is a fast placed game where often one possession or one touch can change a game.

We focus on the very essence of soccer itself …small group play.
Our players must learn to work with their teammates in close quarters, crisply passing and receiving…cutting and chopping, stopping and starting, faking and feinting, giving and going and creating and taking scoring chances…...this is the kind of work that will produce our own sleight of foot Zidanes and Ronaldinhos and goal grabbing Rooneys.
