Philosophy:
Players who are comfortable with the ball will make better decisions, and, in turn, will enjoy the game more. The GFRSC Travel Player Development Academy is geared toward improving technical abilities in players through top-quality training. Our philosophy is ball mastery and creativity. We will train players to become more confident within touching distance of the ball. Academy staff will focus on topics such as first touch, 1v1 moves attacking and 1v1 defending, turns, fakes/feints and how to effectively use these maneuvers in games. Players will be encouraged to take risks and try moves with plenty of repetitions in 1v1 situations. Small-sided games will allow players to experiment in game-like situations. Coaches will be encouraged to run dynamic sessions that challenge players and provide a fun environment as well. 
 
Objective:
The goal of GFRSC Development Academy is to improve players’ technical abilities within the tactical implications of the game. Players will work on ball mastery in a challenging and fun environment.
