Elite Technique (ET) is a weekly supplemental training program on Sunday evenings for players born in 2009 - 2001. The curriculum is developed by NCFC professional staff and focuses on breaking down individual techniques and mastering them to become a “complete” player that mimics game-like settings and situational play.
Training addresses all aspects of the game: technical, tactical, physical, and psychological. Sessions are led by NCFC coaches, Elite Technique professional coaching staff.
Our goal is to significantly improve the technical and athletic ability of each player through the application of best practices developed from the training of our highest teams in the club.
Players will have the freedom to make mistakes enabling them to push past existing skill levels in a competitive training environment while increasing their love for the game and desire to train.
Sessions & Location
Elite Technique is a 12-week program that runs each fall and spring in conjunction with traditional team training. Sessions take place at Thomas Brooks Park (turf field) on Sunday evenings.
Technical Testing
To ensure the most effective program for your athlete, players will participate in technical testing on the first day of training. Testing will incorporate a series of timed technical drills to gauge the skill level of players in determining appropriate placement in training groups with others of similar levels of development and ability.Scores will assist the coaching staff in developing curriculums that maximize players' development in addition to their regular training sessions throughout the season.
