Elite Performance Program
OPEN TO PLAYERS FROM ANY CLUB
Elite Performance Training (EP) teaches complex technical soccer skills and soccer-specific movements. We apply both of these pieces to significantly improve technical ability, increase athleticism, reduce risk of injury, and most important, work towards becoming a complete soccer player. Developing the complete soccer player takes a lot of work. But there's no better feeling than when that work pays off. For serious soccer players, it’s a lot of work. And a lot of fun! We’ve designed a highly effective program that combines the crucial physical and technical soccer skills needed to develop the complete player.
PROGRAM FOCUS:
Ball Mastery Skills
- First touch to control a ball out of the air
- Feints and dribbling moves to take on and beat defenders
- Proper ball striking technique to find the back of the net with accuracy and power
- Passing technique to find a teammate's foot every time
Athletic Performance Skills and Conditioning
- Speed needed to chase down attackers
- Raw strength and balance required to shield the ball from a defender
- Powerful jumps to win balls in the air
- Explosive quickness to beat an opponent to the ball
- Agility and coordination to respond to sudden changes in the center of the field
