RDA ACADEMY CLINIC PROGRAM:

 

The key to the success of the Academy Clinic Program is that every activity is based on the following ideals:

 

 

• Instruction

 

• Demonstration

 

• Repetition

 

• Practice

 

• Analysis

 

 

 

 

 

Technical skills are one of several attributes provided to the individual players by the Academy instructors in order to improve and excel within the sport of football (soccer).

 

 

The instructors will focus the training on the following key areas:

 

 

• Physical Training (conditioning and power training)

 

• Ball control (dribbling, passing, keep-ups)

 

• Shooting (power, accuracy and poise)

 

• Finishing (developing the killer instinct)

 

• Heading (a vital yet poorly coached skill)

 

• Vision (ability to “see” the field of play)

 

• Mental Conditioning (teaching the most important skill in soccer) 

 

 

These are just a few of the topics covered by the Academy Staff.

 

 

 

 

 

Ultimately, the skill level of the individual players is taken into consideration during instruction and the training is customized to meet the player's individual needs.
