The Team

The Lesson Plan

The game of soccer can be broken down into nine simple categories of development which encompass every aspect of the game passing, ball control, dribbling, shooting, individual and collective defending, heading, crossing and goalkeeping. The Secondary Program schedule would consist of daily on-field training with the exception of once a week theory, in-classroom session.
