SJUFC's Small Sided Philosophy
SJUFC's focus is on technical training (skill development) that incorporates 3v3; 4v4; 5v5 & 6v6 training models. YSA's age appropriate training curriculum ensures that players have the technical capabilities to perform the tactical components necessary to compete at the next level of play.
For an individual with average technical ability, this stage of development will look at primarily improving the player's technical (skill) ability and will also introduce a better understanding of the game all within age appropriate levels of activities.
Program Content;
Dribbling; Taught to keep the ball close, lots of touches with ALL surfaces of BOTH feet. Maintaining possession while sheldilng the ball, taking on players and change of direction and speed.
Passing; CORRECT technique for kicking and non kicking foot. Passing with accuracy and control along with intro of pass selection.
Defending; Getting to the ball first (pressure), defending by 'turning to the outside when facing own goal & when, how and where to clear the ball.
Small Sided Games; This format is designed with the young player in mind by simplifying the game, while retaining many of the characteristic aspects of a soccer game. The small sided game is the most suitable for developing versatile, thinking players. So many comparable situations occur in such a short period of time that the players learn to solve these problems with flexibility and speed of thought.
