Spirit FC provides additional training for SAP and Youth League players, who want to further develop their game on top of the representative program.
This training extends beyond the holistic development environment we already deliver within team training, and is designed to help players develop the attributes that help them have ‘X-factors’ that set them apart from their peers and help them progress to the next level in the pathway.
Our X-Factor coaches features coaches from our performance program and First Grade players.
There are 3 different programs:
- Technical Skills
For players to develop their core actions, focusing specifically on first touch, passing and receiving, and finishing. This program allows players to enhance their individual skills in an intense, small group environment.
- Advanced Technical Skills is for U15 players and older
- Intermediate Technical Skills is for U14 players and younger
- Junior Technical Skills is for U11 players and younger
- Speed Training
For players to enhance their speed, with a focus on movement and technique. Players will receive personalised, in-depth breakdowns of their running profile and bespoke coaching to improve their athletic DNA.
- Strength Development
For players to further enhance their strength training in addition to the team-based strength sessions. This training will provide individual coaching of resistance training exercises, to develop confidence in strength and gym settings, as well as the creation of individualized strength training programs. Note this does not replace team-based strength but complements it.
