Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first session is focused on getting to know the player — their current skill level, comfort with the ball, and goals for improvement. We start with a fun warm-up and simple technical drills like dribbling through cones, passing against a wall, and basic ball control exercises. This helps me assess their strengths and areas to work on. We end with a short, low-pressure game-like activity to build confidence and keep it enjoyable.
Lesson 2-3These sessions build a foundation of technical skills. Players can expect focused work on:
• Ball Mastery: Dribbling with both feet, quick touches, and control under pressure.
• Passing & Receiving: First touch, short passes, and proper body positioning.
• Shooting Basics: Correct technique for striking the ball.
We keep the sessions dynamic and fun with competitive games and challenges to keep them motivated.
Lesson 4-10At this stage, we increase intensity and introduce tactical understanding:
• 1v1 Situations: How to beat a defender or defend effectively.
• Game Awareness: Scanning the field, decision-making, and positioning.
• Combination Play: Wall passes, overlaps, and small-sided games.
• Fitness & Mental Strength: Fun conditioning drills and teaching resilience, focus, and confidence.
Each session ends with a mini-game that allows players to apply what they’ve learned in a realistic scenario.
Lesson 11+Now we work toward mastery and game impact:
• Advanced Technical Skills: First-time finishes, long passing, quick transitions.
• Tactical Growth: Understanding systems of play, positional responsibilities, and movement off the ball.
• Mental Toughness: Preparing players to perform under pressure and stay composed.
• Performance Tracking: Measuring progress with data and video feedback when possible.
The goal is to develop a complete player who is confident, skilled, and game-ready — not just in technique but also in decision-making and mindset.
