TNT Youth Clinics
Technical and Tactical Training
TNT Soccer Clinics are for boys and girls, ages 9 to 12. The idea behind the class is to not only teach technical aspects such as dribbling, shooting, passing, and trapping, but how to use them tactically - meaning how to use these skills correctly in a game. They will take the players through a challenging 1 hour session of skill building and competitive drills and games to develop self confidence in practices and game type situations. The first 30 minutes will be focused on skills, technique and footwork which include specific aspects of the game: they work on dribbling, passing, shooting and defending. The remaining 20 minutes of class will be spent playing scrimmage. This is an instructional scrimmage, so the game will be stopped periodically in order for the instruction to take place.
Players will be taught how to correctly train on their own. Players will be challenged by coaches, who were successful players and are now successful coaches, who know what it takes to succeed in the game mentally and physically. Players will walk away more confident than when they came in.
Evaluations
During week one, our coaches will assess and evaluate each player, at which time the players will be divided into the A and B classes depending on their skill level. Both A and B squads will be trained using a set curriculum that has been prepared by qualified coaches. Players will be evaluated at the beginning of each session and moved to the appropriate skill level.
Clothing/Equipment
We do ask that your child comes to class wearing comfortable athletic clothing, our suggestion is soccer shorts, t-shirt, long soccer socks, turf shoes, and shin guards. We do require the shin guards at this age and skill level so that everyone stays safe. To help make it easy for you, we do have shoes, socks, and shin guards available for purchase.
