Beginner training plan
Your first lessonToday’s session will be a mix of basic drills and fun activities. My main goal is to build a connection with your child We’ll do this through a series of light drills and fun exercises that let me see how they move and respond while helping them get comfortable with me as a coach.
Lesson 11+Each session is tailored to your child’s development — I regularly assess their progress and adjust the focus as needed. Now that they’ve built a solid foundation, we’ll begin introducing the rules of the game and incorporating them into our drills and activities. This helps the player understand not just how to perform a skill, but when and why to use it during a match.
Lesson 4-10At this point, we’ve built a great rapport, and I have a good understanding of your child’s strengths and areas for growth. I’ll start introducing drills that specifically target those areas to help strengthen their overall skills. I’ll also provide a few simple exercises they can practice at home to keep building confidence and consistency between sessions.
Lesson 2-3Over the next couple of sessions, we’ll continue building on the basics — focusing on ball control and introducing passing. These fundamentals are key for developing confidence and good habits early on.

Youth players
Working with kidsI adapt my lessons to meet each child’s needs by keeping instructions simple, adjusting the difficulty of drills, and creating activities that offer small, achievable successes. I use a positive coaching style with lots of encouragement and make sure players stay active and engaged by changing activities often. I also give individual attention, offering extra support or added challenges depending on the player. Overall, my goal is to create a fun, supportive environment where every child can learn, grow, and enjoy the game.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers, I adapt my lessons by giving them more responsibility, higher-level challenges, and training that connects directly to real game situations. I provide clear expectations but allow more independence so they can problem-solve and make decisions on their own. I adjust the intensity based on their skill level and motivation, and I communicate with them in a mature, respectful way that encourages accountability. My goal is to support their growth both as players and young adults by creating an environment where they feel challenged, motivated, and confident.
