About The Programme
We also think that skills are better broken down in reference to the specific context in which they can be found during the game, so as well as cycling the skills we introduce in a logical manner, we also cycle these according to the different moments of a game.
For example, comfort, control and parts of running with the ball (shielding, turning) are most commonly to be found in possession moments, whereas, dribbling, combination passing and off the ball running are to be found in the breakthrough moments (and/or transition) and finishing and shooting skills are to be found in the execution parts of the game. Defense skills are broken down to meet the requirements of each of the attacking moment. For example, shape is taught to counter possession, pressure and recovery is taught in the breakthrough moments of attack and specific individual and team roles and responsibilities are introduced to prevent goal scoring chances in the finishing phase.
These 6 areas are trained in a progressive add-on style cycle that repeats itself constantly throughout the 3 terms and again on holiday camps.
We welcome children of all abilities to join our programmes.
The Core Areas We Focus On
At Vikings Football Club, we focus on a number of core areas to help our players improve and excel in the sport.
These include shooting and finishing, which involves learning how to effectively strike the ball towards the goal and score. We also place a strong emphasis on defensive skills, teaching players how to position themselves and anticipate the opposition's movements in order to prevent goals. Another key area of focus is body movements, as players must be able to move and control their bodies in order to execute various techniques and tactics on the pitch. Comfort, control, and passing are also essential skills that we work on, as they allow players to effectively manoeuvre and distribute the ball to their teammates. Finally, running with the ball skills are crucial for any aspiring footballer, as they allow players to advance up the field and create scoring opportunities.
