Beast Mode Soccer Challenge

Our staff coach, Tom Park, discovered a great program called "Beast Mode Soccer". This is a wonderful series for accelerating your development with the ball.  Ball mastery is the crux of Chicas soccer.  Master the ball, we master the game.  So here is your Winter Challenge:

• December - Beast Mode Phase I Footwork Program
  • 20 minutes x 5 days/week
• January - Beast Mode Phase II Footwork Program
  • 20 minutes x 5 days/week
• February - Beast Mode Phase III Footwork Program
  • 30 minutes x 4 days/week

Send me video (michaelmarchforth@gmail.com) of you working on the skills from these videos, and be selected for placement on our website and Facebook page.  Top performers each month, judged by staff, will receive Chicas gear!   

Be your possibility!  Work. Love. Share.  We are the Chicas!

Futsal Programming Focus U9-U12 - The Dribble

Development focus for Chicas Futsal Programming:

• U9-U12 - 1v1 Dribbling to:
  • Possession (maintain possession, separate from pressure, take space)
  • Penetrate (beating defenders and advance)
  • Unbalance defense (drag defensive out of shape)
  • Delay/Speed up attack (advancing with speed before defense recovers, or delay to allow our team to advance/support)

The below video is of Andres Iniesta, FC Barcelona (Central Midfielder).  In these video clips he demonstrates all of the above listed dribbling techniques.  Observe his body, balance, awareness of where space and pressure is, change of speed/direction, and complete composure at all times. Work. Love. Share.  We are the Chicas!
