Course Breakdown
PRACTICAL - The practical sessions will cover
* Technique Practices
* Skills Practices
* Small Sided Games (4v4)
 
Here is an outline as to what is considered a technique, how and why it develops into a skill and finally progresses to a 4 v 4 small-sided game.
Technique
A technique is a basic building block of football. For example, a technique is when a player is able to pass and run with the ball, turn, dribble, or use different surfaces to control the ball etc. The more opportunities the player has to practice these techniques the more adept they will hopefully become.
Skill
A skill is when a technique is used successfully whilst under pressure from an opposing player. For example, a player might be able to execute various turns with the ball in isolation, but can still have a successful outcome whilst under pressure.
4 v 4 Small-Sided Game
The theme then continues into a 4 v 4 small-sided game. Within the game you can utilise other players, who can be used as target players, servers or floating players.
