POSITION-SPECIFIC TRAINING

Position Specific Training is by no means a new idea (Goalkeepers have been trained separately for years). Since the turn of the new millennium, player’s specific roles and responsibilities within the team have changed somewhat. 10 years ago, an outside back’s (left or right defender) responsibility was to maintain the defensive shape, have the ability to challenge and tackle for the ball, and provide cover for the central defenders (i.e. Gary Neville). Now, more and more, an outside back has more freedom and responsibility to help in the final 3rd, offer an unbalanced approach to the offense, and provide good crosses and the odd goal (i.e. Gareth Bale, Ashley Cole). It is with these ‘hyphenate-positions’ in mind, that Diamond Soccer Training offers Position Specific Training.

Our Services include:

• Can be offered as 1 on 1 Training.
• Can be offered as 1 on 4 Training.
• Please Contact Us with the aspects of your player’s game you would like to see improve, and we can design a unique training program specifically for your players needs.
