5v5 Transitional Training Overview
This program is designed for kids age 10 years and older. Players will sharpen their skills by playing with/against competitive level soccer players. 5v5 soccer is used in practice to teach and better understand the quick game situations that is hard to duplicate on a larger scale. 5v5 soccer means more touches on the ball which means better ball handlers and quicker game responses. One of the great things about 5-per-side is that the game teaches the player about the game of transitions, a key element in the game. It puts defensive players thinking about offense and the offensive players about defense. Many international Major League Soccer players grow up playing small sided soccer. They attribute their quick thinking and skill development to exposure to this style of play.
