What Should You Expect

Tiempo Soccer

At Sessions

Our primary focus is on individual ability for ball possession and retention. This means a lot of ball control and mastery, dribbling, and 1v1 ability among other technical and fundamental aspects of the game.

Sessions also focus on spatial awareness, helping athletes gain orientation in their control and technical skill. We will also work on athletic development including motor control, body weight shifting, reaction, and agility.

All sessions are 'progressive games based', meaning we use real game situations to teach for understanding. This allows them to apply all technical and physical skills they learn in game-like sessions.

At Home

Athletes will receive at-home skill work and accountability, helping them develop their passion and skill away from our sessions. This is both coach-assigned and self-assigned. 

We believe for athletes to fulfill their potential they MUST learn to value time on the ball, AT HOME. Away from the team and social environment.

That said, we take a long-term outlook and keep things simple for the young athletes at home. The goal is to build consistently over time.

6 R's

Athletes are evaluated by the Rs in order to get to the next level

1

Retention

Aka “tight space mastery”, retention is the idea that a player will be engaged in situations where they have limited space. Meaning defenders are closed in. Players must have the ability to get out of these tight spaces while protecting and keeping the ball with themselves and their team. Lots of turning and “tight space” 1v1 moves are taught in this technical phase of play.

Retention

2

Running

Aka “Front facing 1v1'', running refers to the ability to run with the ball at pace. Players must have the ability to change pace and direction, all while running at speed. This also means players must be able to run at defenders in 1v1 situations. Having various skills and the overall ability to use their body or the ball to evade and get past defenders. Lots of basic changing pace and dribbling skills as well as “At pace” 1v1 moves are taught in this technical phase of play.

Running

3

Receiving

Aka “First touch”, receiving refers to the ability of a player to control a ball. Whether out of the air or on the ground, such as receiving a lobbed or ground pass. Players must have the ability to take a directional first touch using various parts of their feet and body.

Receiving

4

Releasing

Aka passing, finishing and shooting. Releasing refers to the idea that when a player is ready to release the ball from their personal possession, they have the ability to get the ball to a more advantageous position or to maintain possession with their team. Having the ability to shoot on goal and play various types of passes (inside, outside, lobbed, driven, etc.).

Releasing

5

Repositioning

Aka off the ball movements. Repositioning is the understanding of where and when to move. Especially after a player has released the ball. Learning to combine with teammates and making runs off the ball. As well as understanding their position within the shape of the team. This typically requires a higher level of overall understanding but can be made simple by understanding simple combinations and shapes and distances (give/go; triangles, etc.)

Repositioning

Reposessing

Aka defending. Repossessing refers to the idea of winning back the ball once possession is personally lost or it was lost by their team. Having the ability to position the body correctly, time their tackle, or be able to slide tackle, etc. This also refers to the ability to cover for teammates, take self-responsibility, and learn to defend in a unit or small group (2, 3 or 4).
