Shooting Mechanics

Shooting Mechanics specializes 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 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!

A class that teaches defending tactics, techniques and attitudes.

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.

High-Ball Trapping

What goes up must come down with style. And while we’re at it, apply some of the mechanical laws of the universe too. High-ball Trapping requires precision technique and is perhaps the most underrated of all soccer skills, especially if your position is Center Back Defender. Yet, this class is a must for any player who has come to realize the truth–that the game is played in the air. That out of the air (before it makes landfall) is where an assertive player must first contact the ball. If you are bold enough to fight for it there, this class can teach you how.
