OSNKU Summer Technical Academy
Purpose
The OSNKU Technical Academy is geared to competitive soccer players in the U7-U13 age groups. Both new and established competitive players will embark on this "can't miss" 6-week Soccer Academy journey. The curriculum will focus on foot-skills and ball control training such that tactical elements of the game can be executed with greater success. Sessions will integrate technical training with fun gameplay (small sided games/scrimmages) to create a challenging and energized environment.
Goal
- The primary goal of The Technical Academy is to provide instructional training for players wanting to develop soccer’s essential, foundational skills. Proper passing, receiving, and dribbling techniques along with coerver “skill moves” will be emphasized and repeated over the course of the summer. Weekly variations of dynamics drills and games will give players the chance to get as many touches on the ball as possible each session. Coupled with technical instruction from our coaching team, players will build confidence, skill, and passion for the game while getting them ready for the fall competitive season.
- After the first couple of sessions, players will be subdivided into groups according to age, competitive-play-experience, and skill level in order to create the optimal training and learning environment for each player.
Coaching
Training sessions will be lead by collegiate coaches from the Higher Level Soccer Academy. Higher Level Soccer Director, Adam Howarth, will be writing weekly curriculums and guiding on-field coaches. Coach Adam is a former professional soccer player in both England and Finland and previously coached at the prestigious Arsenal Soccer School. Additionally, select former and current OSNKU Coaches and High School Players will be part of the coaching team. Together, the sessions are bound to be instructive, dynamic, and fun.
