Program designed to improve a player’s use of skills that are learned in The Escola Academy Developmental Training Program, while learning about general tactics during instruction led by skillful trainers. This environment leads players to develop confidence by using their skills, which helps players become more creative with their decision-making abilities.
Multiple sessions are available throughout the year- mainly for players within The Escola Academy Program exclusively, that look for continued progression with skill development and interested in long-term involvement with organized Development Teams or Groups.
These games are designed to improve a player’s use of skills learned through The Escola Academy’s training and teaching, while learning about general tactics during games guided by skillful trainers. This experience leads players to develop confidence by using their skills in game situations, helping them become more creative with their decision-making. The Escola Academy’s Developmental Training Program also incorporates small-sided games in all trainings, to give players quality exposure and time to skill learning and development.
The Escola Academy staff is committed to make soccer a fun experience for all its players. Training players is about repetition and patience to teach, develop, and correct technique and skill. Training is also about putting players in various game-like situations to guide them into making correct tactical decisions. During games, players build on their “skill sets or repertoire” by training at a higher pace and under more pressure. This way, they sharpen their game technically and tactically. The Escola Academy views this as the best way for progress and growth of a well balanced, skillful, and smart soccer player. ** These games (available for year-round play and learning) are a perfect compliment for families interested in a quality teaching and learning environment for their child’s soccer development.
