How to build a Soccer Game Model?

ONLINE COURSE: How to build a Soccer Game Model?

• Do you want to know what a Soccer Game Model is?
• Do you want to be able to develop your own Game Model?

This course reflects a way of thinking regarding the training process and the Soccer game. The course begins by framing the theme with a review focused on research on soccer training and the current trend of small-sided games (SSG) as a way of working in a game context, developing essentially technical and tactical aspects, but also as a way to train the motor skills that support the game effort.

Then we will discuss the game model: what is its conceptual framework;  exemplifying what we want in our model; behaviors considering the different moments of the game and how it works as a guideline so that the whole training process can be consistent with what we intend to be our way of play.

The course also gives examples of how to build or create drills from real match situations, exposing players to decision-making to solve real match situations and not only to train drills without connection to the Game.

Finally, we describe the training methodology, that is, the main options depending on the game model, which result from the crossing between theoretical knowledge and empirical knowledge, acquired in the field, every day.

It is a really practical course, that doesn’t intend to give you a recipe but to give you some tools to work on and to build your own training process.
