Beginner training plan
Your first trainingI start by getting to know the player and making them feel comfortable. We do a short, low-pressure assessment so I can see their current level with the ball. Then we focus on basic ball mastery — simple touches, comfort on both feet, and building confidence. The goal of the first lesson is for the player to leave feeling successful and excited to come back.
Training 2-3We build on the basics from the first session. Players work on cleaner first touches, controlled dribbling, and simple passing. I introduce light challenges so they start using both feet more naturally. Sessions stay positive and structured, with clear feedback so the player understands exactly what they’re improving.
Training 4-10At this stage we develop consistency and add more game-related skills. Players work on receiving under light pressure, changing direction with the ball, basic shooting technique, and simple decision-making. Every session has a clear focus, and I start connecting the technical work to real game situations so the skills transfer faster.
Training 11+Once the foundation is solid, we focus on applying skills under more pressure and improving game awareness. Players work on combination play, movement off the ball, finishing in tighter spaces, and making better decisions during small-sided games. Training becomes more individualized based on the player’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals.
