Shooting Mechanics Clinic

This product has quickly become a hallmark of the Avila Method™ because it yields quick results. The camp setting is even more powerful because the specific details of the technique will be meticulously reviewed each consecutive day! Wow, can you say Mastery?!?!

Shooting Mechanics is a 45-minute class specializing in shooting anatomy. We'll deconstruct and review every aspect of shooting in detail: visualization, approach, plant foot positioning, setting the frame, angle of release, turning radius, rotary momentum, follow-through, and critical velocity.

Next, Think mechanics, mechanics, mechanics --the same mechanical principles that govern the movements of all athletes. The same mechanics that NASA used to land a spacecraft on the moon timed to within a fraction of second!

The class is conducted with shoes off so that our instructors can literally manipulate the metatarsals. In fact, much of the class doesn't even involve the use of a soccer ball but instead focuses on pinpoint form. Every kid wants to score....give 'em a shot!

Shooting Mechanics is for:

• The player who passes instead of shoots in front of the goal.
• Anyone who has never been shown proper shooting technique.
• Players in pre-season or on vacation who have a gap of time.
• Elite players who need to get 20 to 30 more yards on their shot distance. -Anyone who would like to score more on game day.

Dribbling Is An Attitude

This class is just what is needed to help athletes who are not as assertive as they could be.

It's a 45-minute specialty class for any skill level focused on showing players how to take the responsibility for attacking and penetrating versus a mentality of passing the ball off. We walk the player through the mental process of premeditating the decision to dribble before receiving the ball, and subsequently pouncing with conviction and speed!

See if your child doesn't play with more confidence after this! When they practice over and over the motion of physically dominating an opponent and pushing past them, a funny thing happens - they experience a sense of empowerment and self attainment that only comes with being good at something! 

No Fear Defending

A 45-minute specialty class that teaches defending tactics, techniques and attitudes. Players will gain clarity on notions such as jockey and delay, stabbing at the ball, shepherding, foot and hip positioning, aggressive/assertive play, decision making, and yes, even slide tackling—using our state-of-the-art 12" thick dive mat. This class is a must for kids who don't "get it" and for players who are ready to accept the responsibility of contributing when they are not actually in possession of the ball.

One of our proud new editions to the fall class schedule is our Goalie Class...
