Skill based training - Football

There’s a big difference between (a) learning the skill and (b) learning to perform the skill consistently well at speed, under fatigue and under pressure in a competitive game Skill essentially is an individual element of one’s sport but to be seen as skilful, a player must completely put together a string of skills, e.g. a player catches a ball, soloes forward avoiding two tackles on the way (evasion) before kicking a superb score or laying off a penetrative and accurate pass.

Skill based training focuses on improving many techniques through repetitive activity, continual feedback and correction:

• Highly structured specific activities designed to improve your technique
• Creative Games to encourage a range of techniques.
• Performing Skills well, at speed and with great first touch
• Highlighting the link between unstructured play and deliberate practice
