Club Technical Skills Training

Most current clubs focus on goalkeeping within their club as the only positional training that is done. This is needed, but is not the only area. Genesis Elite FC brings in specialists from the professional, international and college player ranks to train the goalkeepers. This training is overseen and directed by the Director of Coaching, as the concepts of development need to be consistent within the club and its approach to player development.

Additional positional training is done in the evenings (Fridays 6pm - 9pm) where it does not interfere with team training. The training program rotates on a weekly basis and includes such things as plyometric training, speed, agility and quickness training, positional training (midfielders, defenders, and forwards). This training is conducted by the Director of Coaching so that he can maintain a very direct relationship with all of the players to ensure that their development is progressing.

Goalkeeping- The focus is on technical training and on core skills training. Phase #1 Includes:

Plyometrics, Speed, Agility and Quickness Training- This is done once every other week with each of the club’s teams. The Teams coach first observes the training done by the Director or Specialist, but would then be responsible for implementing it within their teams twice per month. (Additionally, a separate camp is offered in the summer that would focus specifically on this).

Positional Training- This is quite important as every player needs to have specific development by position once they advance beyond a certain age (12-18). At these ages, it is important to begin training players by position so that they have a very definite understanding of their roles and responsibilities within their system of play.

Club dues are assessed from all players per month thru the competitive season to cover all skills training, player development and player evaluations programs. A minimal fee will be used to maintain the programs and to provide the club the financial flexibility to bring specialized coaches in to work directly with the players.
