Shoveltown Training Academy

Join Easton Soccer for its after school, Shoveltown Training Academy. Our professional coaches will lead training focused on key technical areas, including, but not limited to:

  • Dribbling  - The dribbling skills for this program aim to help your players in running with the ball at their feet, beating players with their skill and pace. This is a core soccer skill and we look at the fine details of the techniques required to dribble like Messi, Morgan, Mewis, Pulisic or Ronaldo. We will have games and exercises to help your players become “better” dribblers.
  • Passing & Receiving - Keeping possession is the key to competing and winning. The best passing teams usually dictate the play of a game, conserve energy, make the best of their chances to score more goals. Passing is about technique, decision making and vision. Long passing, short passing, side foot passing, and crossing will all be reviewed and introduced. We also have great passing games to really sharpen your players’ passing skills.
  • Shooting & Finishing only - Our coaches will utilize shooting activities to enhance your players’ ability to beat the goalkeeper from many different game scenarios, positions and angles. Shooting/Finishing is a core soccer skill for every player, and we have some great ways to teach it. We will focus on shooting while running, shooting first time, drive shots and how to make the ball bend, curl and maybe even a “dip”. We have great finishing/shooting activities and games to help our players develop these skills. 

Players will participate in a number of organized training activities and small sided games.
