Sessions Plans

The Four Core Skills 

 The Football Australia Skill Acquisition Phase program focuses on developing one of the four core skills and a main moment: attacking or defending . 

• Striking the ball: this includes all forms of striking the ball such as short/long passing, shooting and crossing

• First Touch: controlling the ball with all allowed body parts

• 1v1: all moves, feints and accelerations to get past and away from an opponent

• Running with the ball: at speed (with a lot of space) or 'dribbling' (in tight areas), this includes techniques for protecting the ball and changing direction
