Calling all defenders and defensive midfielders boys and girls in Utah County! I’ve been putting together a program over the last three years in conjunction with an academy, a school, and a few former pros from Argentina.
This training program is tailored specifically to defenders and defensive midfielders.
The method of delivery would come from group training in groups of 6 for an hour a few times per week. In our training sessions we would cover the following:
1) Using the correct profile for the task at hand.
2) I have recovered the ball now what?
3) How to correctly head the ball in a defensive situation and how to close the space.
4) Misdirection
5) Reading the game what is the weakness of my attacker.
6) Ball handling and Passing with precision.
7) Attacking from the back.
8: How to defend collectively “as a unit” and what my general responsibilities will be when doing so.
9: Communication 101: you will be asked to lead your team defensively and develop the proper vocabulary so that one word will let your teammates know where and how to move.
10: Last but not least the art of recuperation. This is where games are won. There’s a certain mentality and training methodology that comes behind this. I will teach you all the secrets you just bring an open mind to training and I’ll do the rest.
I am looking for serious players in the following age groups:
U17 men and women: 4 groups of 6 players max per group.
U15 men and women: 4 groups of 6 players max per group.
U13 men and women: 4 groups of 6 players per group.
U11 men and women: 4 groups of 6 players per group.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Thanks,
Coach Tony Zilleruelo
