Team Skills Clinic​
I am saddened by the wasted opportunities for America's young talent. Confirming this point. I consistently watch players at the top college level and even higher who can't kick a soccer ball correctly, and as such have no real control over the ball's speed and direction. Why is this you ask? I say it's because nobody taught them. And why were they not taught? Because their coaches often lacked the necessary knowledge, focusing on winning rather than fundamentals, which was how they were taught.
It was told to me by a senior player during a game when I was a young man that if I knew what I was doing, I could reach the highest levels. I shrugged it off and carried on. Now, forty years later, I truly understand what he meant. My talent was not enough, I needed to learn correct techniques. However, there were two problems in this reality. Ist there was no one around to teach me. Second, by the time I learned these skills, it was too late for me to compete at the level my ability allowed. I think this is why I am so dedicated to development. I want players to be given the opportunities I never had. Now you have the chance to learn. Don't waste it.

Quantity is not the path to success, Knowledge and quality training is the only path to reach one's full potential.

Correct kicking Techniques
I find it amazing how after decades of soccer advancements, so many players don't know how to kick a soccer ball correctly or even efficiently. By efficiently I mean maximizing leg strength and being able to decide the right kick for the right situation. Even at the college level I observe many players unable to strike the ball correctly. Correct techniques can only be taught by a person who understands those techniques. Just swinging your foot at the ball is not the answer. For a limited time only while supplies last., Novissoccer will offer a 2-hour training session teaching the correct way to strike a soccer ball. This class will not only benefit players of all ages but also coaches who wish to give their players productive information.
Team Clinic up to 18 players.
​
Individual Skill Development
Individual skill development relies on the correct evaluation of a player. Not all players are created equally when it comes to mechanics. Trying to teach a player to emulate an individual skill of another will on most occasions end in frustration and failure. Each player within a team structure has a unique ability. Identifying and developing that unique ability is the best pathway for maximizing one's potential. Novissoccer has trained players of all ages and all levels. The maximization of individual ability is the determining factor in how far a player may progress. Maximizing one's potential is the definition of success. Pushing toward an unattainable level is the definition of failure.
Individual skill drills work better in small groups.
