This ten-week technical development program is exclusive to Chicago Rush North players and consists of ten, 90 minute practices over the winter months. The program has been designed to give Rush North players an opportunity to have an additional 90-minute practice each week to maximize their development and improve their technical ability with the ball. The program will maximize the touches a player gets on the ball and will allow our coaches to provide extra detail on how to improve your technical attributes. Players will be grouped with players of a similar ability and age to enhance each player's development. For the players taking this opportunity, our coaches will use slow-motion technology to help each player learn the correct technique, while refining these techniques to succeed as a soccer player. Our coaches will cover the categories listed below.
