The philosophy of the school is simple:
Develop technically skilled players.
At TheArtofSoccer we are committed to developing the five technical skills of the game:
passing, receiving, dribbling, shooting, heading
These skills are the "tools" of the game. It is important to learn them early, correctly, and well.
It is only through the mastering of these skills, and having the ability to execute them with both feet, that a player will be able to have confidence and reach his/her full potential.
In the game of soccer, the most important touch on the ball is the "first touch".
It is the touch that will determine if the player will control the ball and maintain possession, or lose it.
Nothing indicates the player's technical skill level
more than the quality of his/her first touch on the ball.
During the course of the game, a player will pass/receive the ball more than 80% of the time!
The other 20% he/she will either dribble or shoot.
If you want to be a good soccer player, you had better be able to pass/receive, with both feet,
without thinking about it.
You will be doing it 80% of the time.
While tactics may vary from coach to coach and team to team,
the ability to execute all skills will always be a constant, unassailable requirement.
Tactics do not exist without skill!
Available for individual and group training.
