Monday – Costa Dribbling and Ball Mastery

The theme of all our programs is to encourage attack


minded, confident soccer players who are as
comfortable on the ball as they are off it so who better to
emulate than Douglas Costa, the world’s best players.

We start the week learning a range of individual skills and


providing the necessary sessions to develop close control
and dribbling skills.
The warm-up consists of learning to use multiple
surfaces, most notably the extra use of the sole, in an en-
ergetic environment. This warm-up will be used through
the rest of the week to drill in good habits.

Session 1 will focus on the feel of the ball, close


control and the introduction of tricks and moves in both
unopposed and opposed activities whilst session 2 will in-
troduce dribbling and running with the ball. This will also
provide the chance for players to use the skills learnt ear-
lier in the day.
