WEEK 6: LAST EFFORT, LET'S C-RUSH IT!

Dribbling and juggling are two of the most fun activities to work on. Improving your skills in this area will quickly raise your game. Juggle the ball with your head will allow you to trap the ball, pass it to another teammate, and even score off a pass or a corner kick. The best place to connect with the ball is in the middle of the forehead.

Goal: The objective is to help players gain more confidence on the ball as they are now more comfortable and knowledgeable of how to control it.

All WEEK 5

BETTER W5 - LEVEL 9 - 35 MIN SESSION

This week’s focus is on bettering your skills on the ball. Juggling will improve your single leg strength and balance, while strengthening your ankles and knees.

Goal: Build a stronger initial touch.

FITTER W5 - SOCCER PLYOMETRIC DRILLS

This week we will work on plyometrics to reach the seventh week of our eight weeks program. On the field, players moving fast and accurately in shorts distances are the ones that make the difference. Be the game changer by changing the pace of the game with fast reactions. Add this work out on your week calendar and keep the consistency throughout the season.

SMARTER W5 - DEFENSIVE TACTICAL ANALYSIS

Defending can be an art, and is beautiful to watch teams that defend right, showing Tenacity, Passion, and Unity, among some of our core values. This week we are going to focus our learning on defending, analyzing Atlético de Madrid, possibly the best team in the world at it. To do so, we’ll watch Atl Madrid 0 - 0 Barcelona for the 2014 Spanish League. Let’s see how much you know about defending champ!

TOUGHER W5 - PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

As student-athletes, it’s important to know how to manage time well in order to balance and excel at school, soccer and life. Learning what habits are and aren’t working can be extremely beneficial to your overall success. Reach your desired destination quicker when you learn techniques to help you stay the course.

BRAVER W5 - FOCUS IS SHOT STOPPING & LIVE ACTION!

This session is about putting everything together and stopping live shots in a controlled area. Using a four yard goal (half of a full sized goal), challenge yourself to save 100% of the shots. If you can save balls in this area you will be a solid GK. Add saving balls in the remaining four yards and you will be fantastic!
