During a soccer match players in different positions encounter the ball for different amounts of time and in different areas based on the position of the individual player. The Speed Skill program at Williams Sport Training emphasizes the proper training method for touches on the ball for every player no matter what position they play for their club. During a 90-minute match players are running without the ball more than they are with it. It is important to find a program where your player can be put through exercises where they are taking at least double the amount of touches they are taking in a game.

Professional players see the ball anywhere from 40 – 50 times a game. Most of these players take on average two touches during every individual possession. Now you have to consider the scenario at our youth level. Players at the youth level play shorter games with less time on the field in order to give more players a chance to play. With this being the case you now have to cut the possession per player in half. This simple fact solidifies the importance of our Speed Skill program.

Youth players developing their identities must put themselves through intense technical training sessions. At Williams Sport Training our drills put players through quick movements forcing them to take quick and efficient touches. WST Speed Skill drills stress the importance of proper body mechanics while approaching the ball at pace. Our staff analyzes what each player does with his or her body prior to receiving the ball in order to correct poor touches while on it. Once the ball is released, we then look for the player’s haste to get into a better position to receive the next ball. We at WST believe it is just as important to emphasize what our players do off the ball, just as much as what our players do on the ball.

The WST Speed Skill program will improve every player’s two-touch game. Professional players do not hold on to the ball for lengthy periods of time. Rarely are these players dribbling more than they are passing or shooting. Players either receive or win the ball off an opposing player and quickly move it on. Our sessions will teach players how to excel in these types of possessions. We will enhance every player’s ability to move the ball quickly after receiving it.
