Precision Play
Precision Play is the second phase in our developmental pathway and is designed for players ages 9 to 10 who are ready to refine their technique and begin learning the “why” behind the game.
This program builds on the foundation of Phase 1 (First Touch) by helping players develop more precision in their movements, passes, and decisions. Sessions are fun and competitive, but with more structure and challenge, introducing players to real game situations with limited space, time, and pressure.
Through guided coaching and age-appropriate competition, players begin to understand how to use their skills in context — when to dribble, when to pass, and how to support teammates.
Precision Play is a 36 week progression in phase broken into 3 sub-cycles of 12 weeks. It focuses on helping players become more coordinated, confident, and purposeful in how they receive, manipulate, and move the ball.
Through structured weekly sessions, athletes improve their balance, posture, and awareness, while learning how to execute precise first touches, clean turns, and quick reactions under light pressure. This cycle emphasizes both individual ball mastery and simple decision-making within realistic game moments.
Each sub-cycle builds upon the previous one to gradually increase technical challenge and speed of play, always maintaining a fun, supportive learning environment.
