PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

player developmental program (AGE 4y-7y old)

Here at Fundamental Futbol Academy (FFA-NYC) we do not only rely on tools to train, educate and inspire your kids. We believe effective communication and positive reinforcement are also needed to learn the game of soccer at an early age.

FFA uses cognitive learning techniques throughout our coaching methods. Cognitive learning is a style of learning that focuses on more effective use of the brain. We use color cones, numbers, and simple words to stimulate their brains. We also train different motor skills, where movements are executed more quickly and accurately with our step-by-step repetitive teaching methods.

It allows our kids to gain more balance, increase coordination and learn about body movement.
