'1 vs 1's'
Today we look at how we can receive the ball with our back to goal under pressure from a defender and look to turn, to face our opponent up and turn it into a positive situation where you're in control.
Harrison has a little look over his shoulder before he receives the ball and then the magic happens.
'First Touch'
Today we looked at how we can open our body up using our hips to receive the ball to either face up our opponent straight away if they’re not touch tight or to protect the ball and shift to create an opportunity to turn and face them up if they press us tightly.
We spoke about how Phil Foden receives the ball so effectively and this was executed brilliantly by Sam ⚡️
'Repetition Creates Habits'
Today we look at how we can slow down a defender when we're facing them up, using little touches before using a little bit of skill or drop of the shoulder to burst away and and beat them.
We started off unopposed before moving on to a 1 vs 1 situation as demonstrated by Sam and Seth.
'Body Faints and Wiggling'
The art of wiggling to escape pressure from behind
Welcome to MVMNT. We are an elite training academy designed to create technically gifted players who aspire to reach their full potential and chase their dreams.
Inspired by the Brazilian game of futebol de salão at MVMNT we aim to develop our players technical ability with the ball and their relationship with the ball through our unique skills set and training sessions that have come from the streets of Brazil. Futebol de salão is played on a smaller pitch with a smaller weighted size 2 ball before we progress and introduce a regular size 4 ball into our sessions as we want our players to be able to transfer what they have learnt and what they have developed in terms of touch, dribbling and skills into their game and playing on a smaller pitch results in a fast end to end style of play with players getting more touches of the ball and having more opportunities to try things within a game situation.
Our philosophy is simple, we teach our players to play with freedom, to be creative and confident, to be expressive and above all to have fun with the ball and want to beat players and to play the game the way it is meant to be played, with a smile on their face and that is our logo epitomises our style of play with the colours representing that of the Brazilian flag and our players carry that smile on their shirts every time they play.
'Pathway' We also have established links with both Bradford City and Blackburn Rovers academies and this link allows us to put our players forward for trials at their respected academies giving our players the platform and opportunity to chase their dreams.
Play beautifully, play futebol de salão.
