Goals of the week

Every week I will post a video of the top goals from the English Premier League. Get inspired and see if you can score a goal like the pros! Watch goal #3 and see if you can figure out what two moves Torres does that we have worked on in practice.

ball control exercises

Do you want to get better? Do you want to be the best player you can possibly be? If you answered yes, then you need to practice outside of practice. Here are some ball control exercises to help you develop your balance, footwork and overall touch on the ball.

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes

Working on your juggling helps you have a better first touch. Watch women's professional players demonstrate.

Move of the Week - Scissors

This is a move we worked on last week. I want you to practice it at home and really perfect it. I'll check your progress next week. Here are some video clips.








Lastly a video of Ronaldo doing many scissors.

Move of the Week

Every week I will post some video clips of a specific move that I want you to practice at home. I will ask you to show me the move approximately one week later at practice. One of the best ways to get better is by practicing outside of practice. It takes dedication and sacrifice but I know you can do it!


The first move is called the Ronaldo chop. It is used by the Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo. Here are some videos that show you step by step how to do it and then a highlight video of the man himself.
