Clinic Description:
The Purpose of the clinic is to enhance and sharpen athletes skills and techniques required in 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2 situations.
Our method is to maximize players touches on the ball through fun and interactive sessions with an emphasis on The First Touch and Creativity. The first touch is one of the most important skill to have at every part of the field and at all levels of soccer as it can dictate the next play. Having a great first touch will always put players in position to retain the ball and create scoring opportunities. All of the sessions will also incorporate motor skill development, position-specific soccer knowledge, and an emphasis on the technical skills.
