small group training
Then Small Group Training might be for you. Small group training allows the participants to receive a high level of feedback from the trainer, much like in an individual session, but with the added value of now having to perform under the pressure delivered by opponents. The skills a player develops are only as good as he/she can perform them while under pressure. That is the essence of the game and why so many players fail to achieve the next level; they are unable to deal with the increased amounts of pressure from opponents.
In the small group training environment, each player gets an increased number of touches during the hour long training session. This leads to an increases in the intensity level and gives each player in the group more touches then they would have in a traditional 90 minute team training session. Players will find after training in the small group environment they will have improved their technical proficiency with the ball, have an increased speed of play and thought, improved their tactical awareness and overall soccer IQ, and most importantly as a culmination have increased confidence in their playing abilities.
