“Join my son in his mission to develop creative players!”

Creativity in soccer is more than just flair—it’s about understanding the game at a deeper level. It’s the awareness of where you are on the field and where your teammates are, combined with the athletic ability to get the ball where it needs to be. Avila Soccer teaches players this awareness, helping them become instinctive and insightful on the field. Passing and distribution, core aspects of this, are key to controlling the game and leading the charge.

Winter Break Camps at Avila Soccer: A New Level of Skill Development

Winter break doesn’t have to be a time for players to slow down. In fact, it’s the perfect opportunity to keep your child’s skills sharp and help them grow as soccer players. At Winter Break Soccer Camps, like the ones offered by Avila Soccer, players can dive deep into improving their passing and distribution—skills that will help them dominate the field. Our Winter Break Camps are designed to keep players at their best while they’re off from school, ensuring they don’t miss a beat during the winter months. Whether you’re joining us in Winter Soccer Camps, our programs have something for every player looking to refine their skills.

The Art of Passing & Distribution

Passing and distribution are often overlooked by players focusing on shooting or dribbling. But they are essential to a well-rounded game. Without proper passing mechanics, even the most skilled player can struggle to make an impact on the field. At Avila Soccer, we focus on making sure players not only pass well but also distribute effectively, controlling the flow of the game.

Passing Mechanics: Breaking Down the Essentials

In our Winter Break Camps, we take a sports science approach to mastering passing mechanics. Each aspect of a pass is broken down: the plant foot position, the angle of release, point of contact, vertical alignment, and the follow-through. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that players can pass with both accuracy and confidence. By focusing on these mechanics, we help players develop the technical foundation necessary for effective distribution across the field.

Perfecting Aim: Beyond Just Getting the Ball to the Right Spot

Passing isn’t just about getting the ball to your teammate—it’s about precision and timing. That’s why we focus on perfecting aim in our Winter Break Camps. This crucial class helps players who struggle with accuracy and those looking to improve their passing range. By teaching players how to target specific areas on the field, we equip them with the tools they need to control the tempo and direction of the game.

Fun Meets Function: Soccer Golf

We don’t just teach passing in drills; we bring fun into the process. One of the most engaging exercises we use to improve passing accuracy is Soccer Golf. This hybrid game challenges players to hit certain “holes” or targets with their passes, making it a creative and enjoyable way to work on their aim. Soccer Golf forces players to think about each pass with precision, which is essential when transitioning from practice to match play.

Rondo: The Classic Drill for Mastering Passing

Rondo is a timeless soccer drill, known for its effectiveness in teaching players how to pass under pressure. In this drill, players work together in a tight space, learning to move the ball quickly and accurately. Whether it’s a short pass or a longer one, Rondo teaches players to be creative in their passing, ensuring they always have options and can adapt to different game situations.

Possession Play: Moving as a Unit

Possession isn’t just about keeping the ball—it’s about playing as a team. In our Possession Play class, we focus on the five pillars of possession: movement, spacing, distribution, technique, and connectivity. We teach players how to work as a unit, making intelligent passes and using their positioning to create passing lanes. This class is crucial for players who want to improve their game intelligence and understand how to move the ball efficiently across the field.

Hip Mechanics: Making Every Pass Count

Proper body positioning is another critical component of successful passing. Hip Mechanics is a class designed to help players improve their receiving and passing skills under pressure. With a focus on proper hip positioning, players learn how to control passes more effortlessly and reduce the chance of unforced errors. This class makes players more confident and elegant on the ball, helping them make smoother transitions during games.
