    The Soccer Italian Style - Football Coaching Coaching Philosophy

    The "Soccer Italian Style" Academy Program was born with the main goal to train soccer players to maximize their technical skills.

    The centerpiece of this Philosophy is the "Ball Control" program meant as refinement of the individual skills of touch/control, running with the ball, dribbling, feints and change of direction.

    All the practices are inspired to three very important values:

    • Easiness
    • Enjoyable
    • From Easy to Hard
