About This Program

Confident, intelligent team players with real technical ability

Our Soccer program develops technical ability and game intelligence together. Students work through ball control, passing, shooting and decision-making — then apply everything in small-sided games. Sports science moments explore reaction time, coordination, aerobic endurance and how carbohydrates fuel sport performance.

Technical Development

Ball control, first touch, passing and shooting coached to a high standard with deliberate practice methods.

Game Intelligence

Decision-making, movement off the ball and tactical awareness built into every drill and game.

All Abilities Welcome

From first-timers to experienced players — every child is challenged at the right level.

Match Play Every Session

Small-sided games give students real match experience and the chance to apply skills under pressure.

What We Cover

Senior Track & Field

  • Ball mastery — inside/outside touches, sole rolls, toe taps, scissors
  • First touch — controlling passes with inside foot, thigh, chest
  • Passing technique — weight of pass, body shape, eye contact
  • Dribbling — change of pace, change of direction, shielding
  • Shooting — instep drive, placement, shooting on the turn
  • Defending — jockeying, body position, timing of the tackle
  • Small-sided games — 3v3, 4v4, 5v5 with coaching interventions

Session Times

Flexible Scheduling

Early Morning

7:30am – 8:45am

Start the day with high-energy soccer coaching before the school bell — great energy and focus to kick off the morning.

Early Afternoon

3:00pm – 4:15pm

Ideal for families who need a slightly later pick-up — students train straight after school while parents finish the work day.

Late Afternoon

4:30pm – 5:45pm

Perfect for families who want their child to have a break after school before heading into training.

Coaching Methodology

Technique in Depth

We don't just run drills — we explain the mechanics behind every skill so students understand what they're doing and why. Click each section to explore the coaching detail.

A great first touch buys time and space. We teach students to receive the ball with a relaxed surface — cushioning it rather than letting it bounce away — and to redirect it into space in the same movement.

1

Inside Foot Control

The inside foot is the most reliable surface for controlling ground passes. The foot should be angled at 45 degrees, ankle locked, and the leg slightly bent to absorb pace. We use the cue 'open the gate' to get the right body shape.

2

Cushioning Aerial Balls

For balls arriving at thigh or chest height, the surface must give way on contact — not be rigid. We drill this with lofted passes, teaching students to drop the thigh or chest slightly as the ball arrives.

3

Touch Into Space

Elite players take their first touch away from pressure and into space. We use 'shadow defenders' in drills so students practice scanning before the ball arrives and touching away from the imaginary defender.

Sports Science

The Science Behind Soccer

Every session includes a sports science moment — a short, engaging discussion that helps children understand how and why their body performs the way it does. Tap "Deeper fact" to go further.

Reaction Time

"Why do some players seem to react faster than others?"

Reaction time has two components: the time for the brain to process visual information, and the time for the nerve signal to reach the muscle. Elite players don't necessarily have faster raw reaction times — they anticipate better. They read cues (body shape, weight shift) before the action happens, giving them a head start.

Aerobic Endurance

"Why do we get puffed during a soccer game?"

Soccer is an intermittent sport — players alternate between walking, jogging, running and sprinting. The aerobic system (using oxygen) powers the lower-intensity work and recovery between sprints. When intensity spikes, the anaerobic system kicks in. The fitter you are aerobically, the faster you recover between sprints.

Carbohydrate Fuel

"What's the best food to eat before a soccer game?"

Carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver. During high-intensity soccer, glycogen is the primary fuel. Players who start with full glycogen stores run further, sprint more often and make better decisions late in the game.
