\u00a0 We recognize that a \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach to soccer is not always effective \u2013 It fails to cater for players who love soccer but who cannot commit three times a week; It results in weaker players getting discouraged, not enjoying the game, getting lost in the system and dropping out too early. It does not benefit the stronger players, as a \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach often aims for a middle ground and fails to take into account that certain players are ready for more advanced technical coaching. We therefore offer a choice of programs. The appropriate program for a particular player will depend on a number of factors including a player\u2019s age, time constraints, motivation for playing and current skill level . Players\u2019 skill levels within an age group differ for a number of reasons. Obviously natural ability is a factor, but there are other equally important ones: some players started earlier than others, some players have been exposed to better coaching than others and some players have the disadvantage of being born at the end of the year thus lagging behind their less gifted but more effective older compatriots. We strongly believe that with the right guidance every player, at low and high skill levels, can make dramatic improvements. So whether the intent of a player is to just have fun and hold their own on the playground, or to make their school team, or to stay on their school team, to travel overseas with his club, or to eventually play college soccer overseas or one day to play professionally – we have the programs to help that player achieve his or her best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

          Warriors Performance Academy provides year-round training. This\u00a0is\u00a0not a club team; we are a player development academy that also welcomes club players who want to improve their game and reach their full potential. We do not insist that children play club. This is a program for a child who wants to have the opportunity to learn how to play soccer without playing competitively or improving their competitive game. We apply a similar training methodology and philosophy used in the youth divisions of the world’s best professional teams by focussing on skills development. Players can combine the Warriors\u00a0Performance Academy with Club Soccer or school soccer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          		\n
          A 50 minute intensive lesson with one of our coaches. There is no better way of making dramatic improvements than in a one on one lesson. Our one on one lessons are not formulaic and our coaches will assess the level of each player and what aspects need to be concentrated on. We also consult with the parents to determine what exactly the purpose of the lesson is: Some children require work on their fundamentals \u2013 basic trapping, passing, dribbling and shooting; others are defenders and want particular work on their defending \u2013 tackling and parrying; for strikers we offer an advanced finishing course where we concentrate on advanced shooting and striking; and for players who love the flair, we offer a world class program on tricks, teaching over 30 specialist tricks and turns which we have distilled from our experience as well as research of videos of the world\u2019s great players. Master these (including the \u201cCruyf turn, the \u201cMaradona\u201d, the \u201cRonaldo step over\u201d) and you will wow your opponents and crowds.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
