Expanded - Soccer Boxes Services
Soccer Boxes is dedicated to revolutionizing soccer training through our innovative Box Training methodology. This approach focuses on confined-space training to enhance technical skills, decision-making, and physical attributes in a controlled environment. Below, we build out each of our four key services with detailed methodologies, sample documents (e.g., curriculum outlines), training models, and associated resources. These are designed to provide actionable, implementable content for clubs, coaches, and athletes. All content is inspired by established soccer training principles and adapted to our proprietary Box Training system.
1. Box Training Systems for Clubs
Overview
We provide clubs with a complete system to develop technical foundations across age groups (U6 to U18+). The system includes portable Turf Boxes and a customizable Coach Curriculum, promoting consistent training that mimics game-like tight spaces.
Methodology
- Core Principles: Training in 5x5 to 10x10 yard boxes emphasizes ball mastery, quick decision-making, and tactical awareness. Sessions follow a progression: warm-up, technical drills, small-sided games, cool-down.
- Age-Group Adaptation: Younger players (U6-U10) focus on fun and basics; older players (U12+) incorporate tactics and conditioning.
- Integration Model: Clubs integrate Box Training into 2-3 weekly sessions, tracking progress via player assessments.
Products
- Turf Boxes: Portable, durable synthetic turf enclosures (sizes: 5x5 yards for individuals, up to 10x10 for groups). Features: Weather-resistant, easy assembly, integrated goal markers. Price: $500-$1500 per unit.
