SUSC/AC Perugia

Euro 4 v.4 Program

Ages U-8 & U-9

 

The goal of the SUSC/AC Perugia Euro 4 v.4 program is to allow players the freedom and creativity to express themselves on the field.  Our objective is to help foster an individual relationship with the ball in a positive environment that is great fun and challenging.  We encourage risk-taking so players can be very creative and develop a high level of comfort and confidence on the ball.  We want each player to be involved and engaged at all times, with as many touches on the ball as possible.

All sessions will be conducted by an AC Perugia staff trainer.

The Euro 4 v.4 program is a 6 week progressive program of technical instruction in combination with 4v4 (plus keeper)developmental games.  During each session a specific skill is demonstrated and taught to the players in the early part of the session and then encouraged throughout the games. 

Sample Curriculum:

Week 1    Dribbling for possession or shielding the ball.

Week 2    Speed dribbling/running with the ball under control into an open space or targeted area. .

Week 3    Turning away from pressure using the inside, outside or sole of the foot.

Week 4    Cushioning the ball away from pressure (first-touch   control), air & ground balls.

Week 5    Precise passing with the inside and outside of the foot & disguising the pass.

Week 6   Creativity: inventiveness, imagination & clever play.
