Welcome to Pro Player Football Academy's Technical Coaching Programme!
At Pro Player Football Academy, we understand that success on the pitch stems from mastering the fundamentals. That’s why our Technical Coaching Programme is designed to give your child the tools they need to excel in every aspect of the game. For us, developing individual skills is not just important, it’s essential.
Our philosophy centres on building a strong foundation
of core football skills, which include:
-
First Touch
-
Running with the Ball
-
1v1 Situations
-
Ball Striking
A Step-by-Step Learning Approach
Our innovative programme breaks these key skills into specific, teachable components and delivers them step by step. Each technical topic is covered over multiple sessions to ensure your child understands, practices, and masters each area of their game. Through this structured approach, we provide the building blocks for continuous growth and success on the pitch.
The Six Components of Our Technical Coaching Programme
1. Ball Mastery and Manipulation
Every player works with their own ball in high-repetition drills that engage all parts of both feet. This not only improves ball control but also enhances overall coordination, balance, and flexibility.
2. Speed and Agility
Football is a fast-paced game, so we focus on improving football-specific speed and agility, both with and without the ball. This gives players the edge in tight game situations.
3. Receiving, Passing, and Decision Making
Players learn to confidently use their first touch to control the ball, execute accurate passes, and make quick, creative decisions—even under pressure. Mastering these elements is vital for effective attacking and defensive play.
4. Individual Attacking and Defending Techniques
Your child will sharpen their 1v1 and 2v2 skills through tailored exercises and games that simulate real match conditions. Whether outmanoeuvring an opponent or making a game-saving tackle, these techniques are crucial.
5. Goal Scoring and Finishing
From precision strikes to instinctive finishes, we teach players how to maximise scoring opportunities. Through dedicated drills and creative games, we help your child build their composure in front of goal.
6. Small-Sided Games
These free and conditioned games encourage teamwork, quick decision-making, and small group play. Players develop their ability to execute fast counter-attacks, combine with teammates, and adapt dynamically during transitions.
