Technique Training- training for players u9-u14, starting in October!
There is no doubt that technique (skill) is the most important aspect a youth player should develop. A player must have complete mastery of the ball under pressure and at game speed in order to be any type of successful player. The United States has a reputation for having players with great mastery of the ball with no pressure, but their technique drops as soon as they face a defender.
The International Indoor Soccer Arena's new technique training program is designed to help players develop skill while facing the pressure of a defender. We will help you master the skills necessary- dribbling to beat an opponent, dribbling to keep the ball, short and long passing, and receiving with all surfaces of the body. This program is a complete progression so it is best to attend the entire 8 week course, although players can also benefit from attending a few classes.
Gabe Nosseir designed the program. He is the coach of the u17 boys Elite FC Gladiators, a top 10 team in the country. The Gladiators were ranked as high as #1 in the nation in the spring of 2009. He coached both girls and boys players in the past who played Division I, II, and III college soccer. Numerous college coaches from universities of all levels are recruiting the Gladiators players. The team competes at the highest level of youth soccer in the United States.
Gabe understands the importance of technical training and most importantly, how to do it the right way.

Our Training Program
Our Soccer Specific Fitness Training program is designed for players of all levels. Whether it is a player who has professional aspirations or one who just wants improve his/her athleticism, our program benefits anyone who participates and works hard. All participants are pushed by the coaches in the programs to get as much out of this training as they can- no matter who they are.
Our coaches understand what it takes to play at a high level and how to get there. The program is carefully planned and thought out to improve and develop players’ technical ability (skill), speed, agility, quickness, strength and other important aspects. The training leads to more physically and mentally fit players: which promotes fewer injuries, stronger work ethic, more confidence, and stronger love for soccer!
We bring in a Registered Dietitian to inform parents and players about the importance of nutrition for athletes. We also have a speech for the Sr. Soccer Specific Fitness Training participants (u14-u18) on certain aspects of sports psychology, presented by a licensed mental health counselor. Future plans for the Sr. program include advice and information for participants interested in playing college soccer.
Of course, the soccer specific training is key to this program. Each session focuses on all five aspects- skill, speed, agility, quickness, and strength. Every week, we place extra emphasis on one specific category. For example, if we focus on speed one week, we will place emphasis on speed while working on skills, agility, quickness, and even strength. It is a truly balanced program!
Our first session of the SSFT program held winter ‘07/’08 was extremely successful with over 100 participants training. We received numerous complements about the sessions and I personally saw first hand the effect the speed, agility, quickness, and strength program had on my boys’ team. The team continued to train this way throughout the spring and I saw a tremendous increase in several areas that certain players were once deficient.
After Jr. SSFT in spring ‘08- designed specifically for u10-u14 players- we heard from several parents that the fitness level increased for their children. However, the biggest difference they saw in their player was a boost in confidence. A quicker, more fit, stronger, and mentally confident player is what we are looking to build through the SSFT program.
We hope coaches, managers, and parents within each club and high school program try to recommend participation in the program. It is a great preseason program and benefits players during the season as well.
We have several programs throughout the year- Jr.SSFT for u10-u14, and SSFT for u14-u18. Please check the website for details or call us at the arena- 266-3653
Thank You,
