TRAINING VISION

The game of football has 4 main moments: Attacking, switching from defending to attacking, switching from attacking to defending and defending. Our training is based on training these key moments to perfection.

 

We organize the football actions at these 4 main moments in the categories Technical skills, Insight and Communication (TIC):

• Technique ( individual actions with the ball).

• Insight (e.g. individual actions without ball and "reading" the game)

• Communication (game insight at team level)

 

As part of our training and coaching program, we make sure that the exercises/training always meet the football's own intentions, many repetitions, taking into account the level of the group and the right coaching at the right time. The players are developed in the program on technical (ball skills and running technique), tactical and physical/mental area.

​

The training courses themselves can be distinguished  at the academy in 3 phases:

​

The orientation phase:

This phase of the training is aimed at making the players aware of what is on the program in the training, what relationship it has with the performance of their team, which part will be worked on and how it connects to or relates to previous training and / or matches.

 

The learning and practice phase:

This phase forms the heart, the essence of the training. Here, the actions of the players must develop in such a way that the performance is sustainably improved. The players are often put in a situation by means of a certain form of practice that they can work on improving a certain technique, team task, basic task or action.

 

The application phase:

In this phase, what has been learned in the learning and practice phase is applied in a trainings match form  and it is tested whether what has been learned is adequately implemented. It is therefore not a non-binding training match, but a match with a certain goal.

 

These phases must ensure that learning takes place and that this takes place within the context of the objectives of the training.

 

By reading a match (determining a football problem) and applying exercise material that entails the solution of the problem, the individual and team will continue to develop. Repeating training material means that automatisms arise and the football players develop optimally in the field of team function, team tasks, team organization, basic tasks and football actions.
