Training process

It is during their teenage years that players must master specific technical fundamentals. Without those skills, players will have deficiencies that hinder their progress. During the initial training, the emphasis must be on Technic.

Technic is a prerequisite that will improve the chances of future professional soccer players being successful. With technical mastery comes the ability to affect and be more influential on the game. As a result, good Technic brings mastery,  confidence and creativity into the game.
