Dribbling as 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 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!
Struggle
"I hesitate to attack defenders and usually pass instead of taking players on."
Solutions
Supernova
Players attempting this signature Avila Combination Move, quickly discover the only way to pull it off is to use their mind’s eye. Because you spend nearly the entire spinning slalom of a move not actually able to see the ball. Supernova–a move that teaches vision, is one bright star in our great array of Specialty Classes.
Struggle
"I rely too much on watching the ball instead of developing feel, vision, and body awareness."
Solutions
Speed Dribbling
Sometimes winning comes down to the realization that it’s up to you alone, that you need to take the ball yourself directly, and do that as fast as humanly possible, if you want to win the game. This class eliminates the elaborate complicated maneuvers and tricks. Instead, it gets down to the very basic common denominator of all Dribbling, namely quick cuts left and right–done with the inside and outside of the foot.
Struggle
"I can't separate from defenders when there's open space in front of me."
Solutions
Cyclone
Storm warning: this players’ favorite and aptly named move, called The Cyclone, has the spiraling destruction of a storm. As one player said it best, “stay out of its path, defenders – or risk being found strewn in pieces!”
Struggle
"My moves aren't dynamic enough to unbalance defenders or create explosive changes of direction."
Solutions
Ball Brushing
This signature maneuver is the hallmark of elite midfielders the world over, and for good reason–anyone can hit the ball hard but not everyone can caress it. Ball Brushing Class specifically addresses this simply to learn technique, which trimmed correctly, can really punctuate a performance.
Struggle
"My touch is too heavy, and I struggle to control the ball with precision under pressure."
Solutions
1v1 Practice
1v1 is in fact at the core of this wonderful 11v11 game, known as Soccer. All 22 players are basically fighting little tiny battles happening for 90 minutes. By keeping the ball close to your feet, attacking and exploiting the space and using a change of pace to beat the defender, you can be prepared for 1v1’s all over the field, and they come in many different forms.
Struggle
"I lose too many one-on-one battles because I don't know when or how to beat my defender."
Solutions
Black Hole
It’s named BLACKHOLE because of the illusion it creates of disappearing space. What’s hard about the BLACKHOLE is the timing and range of motion on the ankle required to pull it off. It helps with improvisation.
Struggle
"I'm too predictable and struggle to improvise when defenders take away my first option."
Solutions
Wrap Around
There is a fun addictive aspect to this move. We often show players the move and they will attempt it 20 or 30 times within a few minutes essentially coaching themselves. This move is similar to BLACKHOLE with the added benefit of helping players escape and get a shot off. It touches on several sub-categories of Avila Dribbling:
Struggle
"I get trapped in tight spaces and can't create enough room to escape or get a shot off."
Solutions
Fast Feet
There are just two ways to fool an opponent when dribbling–move the ball or move your feet. Moving the ball requires skill and that’s hard enough you’d think, but moving your feet quickly, it turns out is a lot harder! Fast Feet pulls no stops in its mission, using agility ladders & cones, cans & mats as well as other props for coordination and balance to encourage your player to sharpen things up.
Struggle
"My footwork is too slow to deceive defenders or react quickly in tight situations."
Solutions
The Art of Nutmegging
This fun class takes a scientific approach to Coach Eryck’s favorite skill (and laughable source of pride), Nutmegging! Tricks of the trade are revealed in this can’t-miss class for the diehard! A nutmeg (or tunnel) is a technique used in soccer, in which a player rolls the ball through an opponent’s legs. This can be whilst passing to another player, shooting or occasionally to carry on and retrieve it themselves. You’ll know it when it happens!
Struggle
"I miss opportunities to exploit defenders who overcommit or leave openings."
