This staple of a class takes a sports science approach to the universal mechanical principles that govern all movement and meticulously deconstructs every aspect of the stroke path of a pass, including: the approach, plant foot position, point of contact, angle of release, vertical alignment and the follow-through! Don’t pass it up!
Perfecting Aim
Trade secrets of pinpoint accuracy are revealed in this crucial class for players who struggle to get the ball on target and for those who want to take their range to the next level!
Soccer Golf
Soccer Golf is a fun, creative hybrid game we use to get players to improve their aim with a soccer ball. As with real golf, it takes but one swing to elicit a common reaction which is to immediately think, “wow, how hard this seemingly simple task is.” And that is what we are after. Improved passing and distribution.
Rondo
The original “monkey in the middle” drill, also known as a Rondo in soccer, is from before the time that formal soccer was even invented. So it deserved to make it into our Avila Passing repertoire, since only the best passers excel at this timeless exercise!
Possession Play
This class is important because Possession is a type of genius that merits training and is a missing link for many players who often have skill but don’t seem to gel with the “unit” well. At its core is the application of quality passing through better Movement, Spacing, Distribution, Technique, and Connectivity, also known as the the 5 Pillars of Possession at Avila.
Hip Mechanics/Rotation
Hip Mechanics is a class conceived from our Play Better Immediately Clinic in which sideways positioning (proper hip positioning) is used to help players control passes received under pressure. The class helps them not only be more involved in plays, but allows them to continue plays effortlessly. This type of training cuts down on a player’s occurrences of unforced errors, because proper hip mechanics leads to receiving the ball on the foot when it is positioned with more surface area facing the ball. Players with sensory integration issues, for example, flourish once they develop these habits. The aim of this class is the emergence of a more elegant and confident player.
