Technical Training Groups

YTS Parents,

You will see the list of technical groups below. We have selected players based on their technique. Technique includes - ability to receive a ball under control, the quality and consistency of the first touch, direction and weight of first touch, ability to pass the ball with the appropriate weight and direction and finally the ability to change direction with the ball. At the highest level players can perform all the avoid techniques under pressure. This is our goal.

Based on the fact we evaluated players on individual technique not all of our top groups have an equal number of players from each team. This is not a team based evaluation but rather an individual based one.

We will continue to evaluate all of the players in our YTS Program with regards to technique. Please rememeber we are trying to develop technically proficient players in our program and to do so the players must spend time with the ball away from our YTS training sessions. The technical groups will add another dimension to our training program.

Thanks

Paul
