Player development program

At Soccer By Design, our Player Development Program focuses on creating a positive, age-appropriate environment where players can thrive both in skill development and their understanding of the game. Designed as a foundational pathway to our Academy, this program emphasises balancing structured training with free play to foster a love for soccer at every stage.

​

– 4-5 Years: Players are introduced to fundamental movements such as running, jumping, and basic ball control. Our sessions aim to develop motor skills and coordination through engaging and imaginative activities, including teamwork-focused games and animal play cards that enhance understanding and boost enthusiasm.

– 5-6 Years: Building on motor skills, players focus on running with the ball and learning simple passing techniques. Training incorporates superhero-based themes to keep sessions fun and engaging while introducing teamwork concepts through basic group activities. A love for the game remains at the heart of every session.

– 6-8 Years: During this stage, players refine essential techniques such as ball control, shooting, and passing, gaining confidence in their abilities. We introduce positional awareness and teamwork through small-sided games inspired by professional players, encouraging participants to recreate real-world scenarios and hone their skills.

This program is not only about building technical ability but also about nurturing confidence, creativity, and a passion for the sport. By tailoring drills and activities to match the developmental needs of each age group, we ensure a well-rounded and enjoyable learning experience for all participants.
