Player Development
The focus for the ACT Program is to allow for player development through age appropriate training. This type of training will afford more children the opportunity to reach their full potential athletically while learning various individual skills within a group setting.
In the U10-U12 age groups the building blocks of player development are:
Ball Mastery
Exercises where each player must work alone with a ball, numerous repetitions using both feet.
Passing and Receiving
Exercises to improve a player's first touch, so important at all levels, and to encourage and teach accurate creative passing.
Moves to Beat an Opponent
Exercises and games that teach game winning individual moves that can create space amongst the most packed of defenses.
Speed
Exercises and games that improve acceleration, running with and without the ball and changes of pace.
Finishing
Exercises and games that teach technique and encourage instinctive play.
Group Attack
Exercises and games that improve small group combination play with emphasis on fast break attacks.
Play the Game
Free of any over coaching from the sidelines! The players need to be allowed the freedom to be creative and apply what they have practiced during the week.
Technique
Method of accomplishing something; degree of skill one exhibits.
Intelligence
Acquired knowledge, information and insight and its application under pressure.
Personality
The character, characteristics and other qualities of a particular person as it relates to the game, competition and pressure.
