Typical 1-on-1 session with a soccer player

Go through a warm-up

Stretch (While in the process of stretching the student will learn what he/she is stretching.)

If the focus of the day is touches on the ball and footwork

1.) We go through the ladder to increase our agility. A ladder will also improve ones balance and footwork.

2.) We then start at a simple drill to get our touches down. The logic behind this is if you can not do a simple drill perfect then what is the point of starting off hard.

3.) Move into a more complex drill working on ones touch on the ball.

4.) At the end they will be given a fitness drill that deals with them having a lot of touches on the ball on the inside, outside, bottom, and top of their foot.

5.) Homework will be given. Homework is consisted of a task that needs to be practiced before the next session. The homework should not be completed once but multiple times over before the next session.

Note: Water breaks will be given accordingly

Client Reviews

Zach was great! He is really nice, fun, and encouraging. Looking forward to our next session.

Coach Zachary was awesome with my child. He will be the coach for us.

(no details provided)

My daughter trained with Zack for 5 sessions, and I think she learned more in those sessions than she learned playing soccer these past five years. We have seen a significant improvement in her skills, such that her coach asked if she has been training with someone. Most importantly, my daughter has the confidence she needs to play more competitively. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for personalized soccer training.

My daughter Avery continues to make improvements with her ball handling skills along with her conditioning. The confidence shes gained over the summer will help her tremendously going into her fall soccer season. Zach has spent time getting to know her and what motivates her to succeed. I look forward to hes continued work with Avery!
Zach is an excellent soccer coach and trainer. He has been working with our daughter, Anna for a while now and during this time her skill level has grown considerably. More importantly, her confidence has grown, too! Anna plays club soccer and her one on one work with Zach has translated to better team play. Zach knows Anna’s strengths and weaknesses and her training sessions are designed with that in mind. He really pushes Anna. Her work outs are incredibly challenging and difficult at times. Anna says that she likes it when Zach challenges her to work harder because she knows that he has confidence in her that she can do the drills and exercises that he asks her to do. His belief in her has really elevated Anna’s belief in her own abilities resulting in an increased confidence on the soccer field. Zach instructs and coaches in a knowledgeable, firm yet patient and understanding way. He is a natural coach and teacher. He loves the game of soccer and he loves teaching it, and it shows! We are so happy that we found Zach to train Anna. She is a better soccer player because of her work with Zach.
Zach is one who can take any player and move them to the next level. The combination of his knowledge, technical skills and passion, help kids expect more from themselves resulting in his students' reaching their potential. His talent and his passion to want to see his students succeed is evident at each training session. Zach is a very knowledgeable person who brings a vast understanding of the game of soccer to his innovative training sessions. His apparent wealth of soccer experience, knowledge of diet and nutrition, ball mastery skills, productive and efficient training activities are exceptionalZach help my son build on his strengths, worked on his weakness and increased his focus and self-confidence. My son’s current field play has improved tremendously and he now has the confidence and skill in his decision making. My son always looks forward to his training sessions with Zach.I whole heartily endorse Zach Duda and B.A.S.E. Training for all your soccer development needs.
