FOOT SKILLS ACADEMY:
Ashburn Soccer Club and International Touch Soccer Academy are pleased to announce the start of its new Travel Footskills Academy Program. This program will complete our Academy programs and will run in conjunction with our Goalkeeper and Striker Academies.
The concept of the program is to allow players to become more confident with the ball at the feet and teach them how to take defenders on in the attacking third of the field. The coaches will focus on topics such as; ball control, speed dribbling, 1vs1 moves, first touch, settling, turning, and deception.
Players will be encouraged to take risks and try new moves with plenty of repetition in 1vs 1 and short-sided game situations. The freedom and fearlessness to be creative with the ball defines our training approach at the Footskills Academy. The goal of our Footskills Academy is to produce players with stronger technical skills and increased creativity. The Footskills Academy will begin its first season in Spring 2011 at Bles Park, and will be available for U9 – U18 Ashburn Soccer Club travel players. Players will be placed into three groups: U9-U11, U12-14, and U15-U18. Places will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The Footskills Academy will be run by Alex Teixeira (State ODP Coach / DC United Academy Staff / National Youth License) and Royce Brodie (USSF National C License / VYSA Academy Coach / ODP Northern District Coach / National Youth License).
