Session Structure: The “Raw Dribblers” Program is structured to expose the player to deliberate play. This is the most child appropriate way of developing, by optimizing confidence, physical attributes, social interaction, and high repetition of technical actions in soccer realistic situations. Not only does this format address the four pillars of a players development, but makes it athlete-centered to maximize fun.

Benefits to the Player:

  • The worlds greatest players learned soccer through play, in street soccer and futsal courts.
  • Game related learning, soccer specific situations.
  • Increased touches on the ball, resulting in more game experiences.
  • Improves the players technical ability, specific to the FUNdamental learning. Less space and time, touches need to be close and controlled, less time to think resulting in increased speed of thought, reduces physical dominance of bigger players.
  • High repetition of 1v1 and 2v1 situations, critical for motor development and cognitive learning phases.
  • Technical foundation developed with freedom of play to transition into later stages of learning to be play in multiple positions.
