Elevate Your Game to Professional Standards

Are you ready to take your soccer skills to the next level?

The Soccer Skills Assessment is designed for aspiring professional players who aim to secure a spot in a Premier League academy.

Unlike the Soccer Skills Challenge, which caters to a broad range of players, the Soccer Skills Assessment is tailored for those who are serious about their development and want to demonstrate their capabilities at a higher level.

What to Expect in the Soccer Skills Assessment

The Soccer Skills Assessment covers five key areas crucial for any soccer player aiming to play at a professional level:

Running With The Ball

Objective: Showcase your ability to maintain control while sprinting with the ball across the field.

Assessment: Navigate a 30-meter course while keeping the ball within a narrow lane marked by cones. Precision and control are critical, as a 1-second penalty will be added for every time the ball crosses outside the designated area.

Sprinting

Objective: Demonstrate your explosive speed and quick acceleration.

Assessment: Sprint over a 30-meter distance as quickly as possible. This challenge will test your raw speed, essential for outpacing opponents during a match.

Dribbling With The Ball

Objective: Prove your agility and ball-handling skills in tight spaces.

Assessment: Dribble through a zig-zag course marked by cones set 10 meters apart. A 1-second penalty is incurred for every time you hit or bypass a cone, emphasizing the need for precision and control.

Speed/Agility

Objective: Exhibit your ability to change direction quickly while maintaining speed.

Assessment: Run through the same zig-zag course as the dribbling challenge, but without the ball. This test is crucial for demonstrating how well you can navigate the pitch with agility and speed.

Turning With The Ball

Objective: Master the art of quick direction changes while maintaining control of the ball.

Assessment: Execute nine different turns, such as the Inside-foot hook and 'Cruyff' turn, within a 1-meter area marked by cones. Each mistake, such as stepping outside the cones or losing control, will result in a 1-second penalty.

Parent - Hindley Town Bulls (u9s)

We have finished reading through the report and thank you so much for taking the time to put all the lads through. We have fed parts of it back to Arthur so he knows what he could do if he wants to improve. The level of detail means that he is under no illusion as to what he could do to build his skills. I think he dad has enjoyed it too because it has given him an indication of what they could play in the garden to help Arthur improve as well as little things like getting out on the bikes more or running. Thanks again for indulging his love of football and coaching in a way that not only makes them better players so they can enjoy playing more competitively but makes them better sportsmen.

We are really impressed with the standards of professionalism shown by yourself Brian, we find it speaks volumes in regards to your committment and relationship you are building with Charlie and the team. You don’t only highlight his best qualities on the pitch you also state what he has to work towards and how there is room for improvement meaning his training sessions will always have a purpose and and the end goal to always achieve better which I find gives charlie motivation and determination to be the best he can be. Football is more than a hobby to Charlie, it is his whole life, his complete passion and dream and with this kind of training, guidance and understanding I hope one day he will achieve his goals. We are looking forward to the next one to see how he has grown and we trust the process completely

Troy was over the moon when he found out that he had scored too marks in the shooting challenge. This has really helped with confidence and we have seen a positive impact on both training and in matches as he now knows what he needs to work on and is very keen to do so.
