DHD Summer School Courses
Our curriculum offers something for every player, boys
and girls, under-8 through high school. Our coaches are
experienced in helping all age groups enrich their skills
and their enjoyment of the game. We want every participant
to feel their time spent with us was a rewarding way to
spend some of their summer time.
Fundamentals 101:
Proper technique is the quintessential first step in
playing soccer. Every session begins with learning how to
use each part of the body in directing the ball,
(dribbling, passing, collecting, tackling, heading,
shooting, throw-ins, etc.).
Fundamentals
201:
Technical refinement of basic skills and simple moves to
beat defenders, creating time and space to go to goal. More
emphasis on tactics and decision making, movement off the
ball, transition, and team attacking and defending.
Goalkeeping
101:
Goalkeeping is the cornerstone of the defense, yet it is
the one position that gets the least amount of attention
from coaches. DHD Soccer teaches the proper techniques for
catching, throwing, rolling, punting and drop-kicking the
ball.
Goalkeeping
301:
For high-school players who want to refine his or her
techniques. How to know where to position yourself during
play, how to collect and distribute the ball, deal with
breakaways, and how to direct the defenders in front of
you.
Tactics
and Decision Making 301:
For high-school players who want to be ready for the
upcoming season. Each week we will concentrate on a
specific area of play, (scoring, various defensive
formations, attacking down the flanks, counter attacks,
etc.).
Fitness
and Conditioning:
A body conditioned for the rigors of the game will reduce
the chance of injury, and shorten the recovery time should
an injury occur. We offer a blend of what is being used at
the collegiate and professional levels.
