Ball Mastery Program

Mestro Strode — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:15:53 +0000

Ball Mastery Program

We are excited to announce that this winter we will be launching a Ball Mastery Program for those club members who wish to continue their training and development through the winter season. The Ball Mastery Program will be a once a week training session in the Soaring Heights gym on Monday evenings where we will be heavily focusing on individual ball control skills and techniques.

8 Week Winter Program

Dates: 8 weeks on Mondays

December 2,9,16

January 6,13,27

February 3,10

Location: Soaring Heights Gym

Registration IS NOW CLOSED

Reach out to Russ@coloradoignite.com to join the waitlist

Spots Available: 72

Who is it for?

Any Ignite player looking to build individual technical ball control skills and wanting to take their game to the next level. Solely focusing on ball mastery and muscle memory. Muscle memory is important in soccer as it helps players develop the specific motor skills to perform out on the field without much conscious effort towards controlling the ball. Once the players have developed better muscle memory with technical skills they can focus on larger and more difficult aspects during the game like getting their head up, reading the opposition, focus on their shape and other larger tactical concepts. Committing proper techniques to muscle memory will enable them to spend less time thinking about how to kick, how to dribble or control the ball and have more fun and keep up with the fast-paced nature of the game. It’s really important to remember that what we do with the ball/ the amount of time spent with the ball in the offseason away from formal practices and games is what truly builds talent, confidence and ultimately success.

Futsal Rules & Format

What is Futsal and why play it?

Futsal is a fast-paced, indoor version of soccer played on a hard court surface with a smaller, low bounce ball. Teams are formed of 5-a-side (four field players and a GK). The nature of the game places large emphasis on technical skills and ability in situations of high pressure. Originating in South America, futsal is now widely recognized as a key developmental tool for young soccer players worldwide.

Many of the top world class soccer players played Futsal in their youth and credit it with supporting their soccer development; players of the caliber of Pele, Ronaldiniho, Messi and Ronaldo.

“Futsal is an extremely important way for kids to develop their understanding of the game.” – Cristiano Ronaldo

– 30 minute games (15- min halves)

Ignite Directors will form teams. We will try to group players with their friends, within their age group, and with others of similar skill levels to create balanced and competitive teams.

Registration Deadline: November 18th, Schedule Release: November 25th

Why play 4v4 and how is it similar to futsal?

The 4v4 format encourages players to make quick decisions, play in tight spaces, and enhance their technical skills – all of which are also key components of Futsal. With fewer players on the court, players are involved in more 1v1 situations and receive more touches on the ball, promoting better ball control, spatial awareness and creativity. It’s a fantastic way for players to develop their skills in a supportive and enjoyable environment during the off-season.
