BACK TO BASICS

If players cannot do the basics, they are not going to enjoy playing, let alone win games. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!

Being able to pass the ball so a teammate can run on to it, or being able to shield and hold on to the ball so that opponents cannot easily win it make a good starting point. If players can master FUNDAMENTAL skills and techniques, they will have an edge over other teams that do not. That is why we at Kickalob run our modules on a 3-weekly basis to try and make you turn these into your footballing habits.

Yes, it is boring...yes, it is repetitious...but that is the objective of academy training - to learn the basic skills and techniques of football, no?
