The skills
What We Work On
Every player is different. A first-year rec player might spend a month on ball control; a player heading to a travel tryout might want moves, finishing and game speed. We start where they are.
Dribbling & Moves
Close control at speed, then the moves that beat a defender: step-overs, cuts, the pull-back and the Cruyff turn.
Basic → IntermediatePassing & Receiving
Weight, accuracy and both feet. Open your body before the ball arrives so the next pass is already lined up.
BasicShooting
Plant foot, laces, follow through. Placement first, power second — and finishing with the weaker foot.
Basic → IntermediateFutsal Footwork
Small-space touches from two seasons of FC Dayton futsal: quick feet, sole rolls and fast decisions.
IntermediateKnow the Rules
Throw-ins, offside, fouls and restarts, explained by a player who has done the referee training — no more confusion on game day.
