qUALITY TOUCH SOCCER ACADEMY
SIMPLICITY BREEDS EXCELLENCE
THE QT DIFFERENCE
We have a sustainable, progression based training model that states what we do, what we are and what we are trying to achieve. All of our coaches and training staff perform in line with our training vision. We work in unison to develop and institute a program that develops a player’s mind, body and soul in playing soccer with an IQ. Our main focus is to create an environment for children to express themselves, thus they will grow in confidence. We take away the fear of not winning a game and bring forth a child’s confidence in playing the game. Winning does not equal development.
OUR PROGRESSION MODEL
Our model takes the player away from team play and towards individual growth in knowing what he or she should do with the ball in non-pressure and pressure situations. We teach children how to play possession style soccer. The player will have no fear in making a mistake because they will be taught how to recover if they do. We refuse to let a player be fearful of just playing the game. Our main focus is to create an environment for children to express themselves, thus they will grow. The progression is implemented by our trainers in such a way that your child will find success over a period of time.
