Elk Grove Soccer is keen to take advantage of the benefits in developing players for the bigger game. Individual close ball skills are developed through an increased number of touches during the game, whilst players are nearly always placed in reduced space situations and are constantly forced to make decisions demanding speed of thought and quick reflexes.
In street soccer, players learn to handle the ball through instinct and ingenuity.
“When I play street ball, everything is moving at a million miles an hour. I need to make decisions before the ball is even passed to me”
The most important thing about street ball is not the creativity or technical skills developed,
We all know that you can get good at whatever you practice and this is truly applicable to soccer. The difference in training becomes especially evident when you look at the disparity between players like Clint Dempsey, an all-around solid athlete, and the mind-bending skills of Bellingham., whose creativity and quickness make him more like a magician next to traditional footballers.
