Soccer Training Sessions Italian Style 13-15: 245 Soccer Drills For a Full Season Technical & Tactical Learning System

Annual Training Schedule of the Youth teams from Empoli F.C. in Italy. 245 soccer drills organized into 45 training sessions. Information it would take years to compile and organize.

It is important between the ages of 12-16 to begin developing tactical concepts. Based on the very successful training methodology used in the youth divisions of a professional Italian football club, we aim to share with you how to develop technical skills and physical conditioning while simultaneously teaching the fundamentals of individual and group tactics.

Through each lesson plan we will develop players in a complete training session, from warm up to scrimmage. Technical training is taught by way of an initial warm up game and/or a technical activity. Physical training is achieved trough a coordination and/or a conditioning drill. Tactical training for individuals and groups is presented in a game situation or a game with a theme.

There are 45 weekly learning blocks for up to 3 training sessions per week. In order to ensure the players learn effectively, each learning block should be implemented twice, providing coaches with the tools to train their soccer players successfully.
