Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is about getting comfortable, building trust, and understanding how the athlete moves. I start by assessing basic coordination, ball control, footwork, and familiarity with the game. We go slow, keep it simple, and focus on a few foundational skills so nothing feels overwhelming. I explain what we’re working on and why, and I make sure the athlete leaves feeling confident and excited to come back.
Lesson 11+Ongoing lessons are customized to the athlete’s growth and goals. Sessions continue to fine-tune technique while increasing intensity, complexity, and game awareness. We focus on strengthening weaker areas, sharpening strengths, and helping the athlete feel confident translating skills into team practices and games. At this point, lessons evolve with the athlete instead of following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Lesson 4-10By this stage, athletes are developing stronger control and confidence. Lessons focus on refining technique, improving accuracy, and introducing more game-like drills. We work on decision making, movement efficiency, and skill connection so things start to flow together. Athletes should notice better consistency, quicker reactions, and more confidence applying skills in real play situations.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three build consistency. We continue reinforcing fundamentals like passing form, setting basics, footwork, and movement patterns while adding more reps and structure. Athletes start to feel more comfortable with the ball, understand corrections more quickly, and gain confidence through repetition. These sessions are about creating muscle memory and steady improvement without rushing progress.
