SMALL GROUP TRAINING

These small training groups are available upon request. PDXFA will place you in one of our scheduled weekly sessions. The sole purpose of these training sessions is to create a game-like environment where players are challenged to execute with technical proficiency in unpredictable situations such as a game.  We want to give players maximum touches on the ball, limited by space, time, and real pressure. We believe that these sessions with repetition will provide players with the confidence and know-how for when game day comes along.

CUSTOMIZED TRAINING PLANS

PDXFA coaching staff will provide monthly training plans to ensure focus on development areas, while providing flexibility throughout the season. Training plans may consist of small group training, individual technical work, strength & conditioning, mental training tasks.

GAME FILM ANALYSIS

PDXFA coaching staff will review a player’s game film to evaluate a player’s current and continue development throughout their journey. Coaches will provide feedback, game notes, ongoing coaching points as is pertains to each athlete’s current development focuses. The game film will be used to further develop each athlete’s ADPs.

ATHLETE PSYCHOLOGY

Football is a game of passion, desire, work ethic, devastation, and euphoria. We work with each athlete to help them navigate the football world they are playing. Each athlete’s mental DNA is different as are each athlete’s playing environments. No matter what the player’s footballing world looks like, we will help provide the tools to self evaluate, build confidence, and identify their own actions/reactions in the game.

PERCEPTION TRAINING

Simply put, Perception in soccer is what a player decides to do both with and without the ball. PDXFA works with every athlete to develop their decision-making process based on what the athlete is seeing. We do this using our game-like training environment as well as using a number of visual cues.

We look at cues for pressure, quality of passing options, when to dribble vs pass, finishing techniques based upon the area of the field vs goalkeeper positioning.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING

Our Athlete Development Programs will bring the coaches that specialize in specific areas of athlete development. These areas will include but not limited to strength and conditioning, injury prevention, mental strength training, football-specific movement training.
