Personal training is available through our club trainers. Please make contact with on of the listed trainers if you are interested. During a personal training session, a player can expect to touch the ball 2000 or more times. The process of touching the ball in a structured manner will help move the learning process form the feet to the brain. This increase in learning will improve the player's overall technical skill and on-field reaction time.

Training Environment
Travis and Nelson work on technique with players in Hawaii.
Madrid Premier trainers focus on technical based learning. This style can be most attributed to teachings from what is called the "Coerver Method." Our coaches add their own individual techniques and employ tactics throughout the entire development process.
The following information was taken directly off the "Coerver Coaching" website (click here). Our trainers seek to follow this development process as closely as their individual skill will allow.
"Coerver Method"
Slow, simple step-by-step repetition of the moves.
Repetition of the moves on the run, without opposition.
Practice drills at increasing speed, with passive opposition.
When confidence is established, full pressure small-sided drills and games usually involving four players against four players with 100% opposition.
Coerver Coaching exposes players to a wide variety of moves, fakes and changes of direction, and encourages players to find those that work for them best as individuals. The result? Highly motivated players with dramatically improved ball control skills and increased confidence on the ball.
